File:Wiesbaden, Drag. 29, Balbus. Curle 1917, p. 146 fig.14.jpg

English: Sigillata bowl, Drag. 29 form, found in Wiesbaden in 1907.

In James Curle, 1917, p. 146, fig. 14. Curle says this about it:

« probably dating from the reign of Claudius [A.D. 41-54], was found at Wiesbaden in 1907, and is now in the museum there. It has the stamp of the potter Balbus. The shape still very closely resembles that of the two last examples. The rim is comparatively narrow, and only slightly everted. The scroll in the upper zone, with its double leaves, is less conventional than that of fig. 12, but what is chiefly noticeable about it is the decorative skill shown in the treatment of the winding sprays of leaf and tendril which fill the lower zone on the side. The same style may be seen at Aislingen, 1 where a similar conventional treatment of ivy or convolvulus is admirably reproduced on a bowl by Senecio. » (Curle, p. 146)
