Title
A fragment of Roman Samian ware dating 1st-2nd century AD.
Description
English: A fragment of Roman Samian ware dating 1st-2nd century AD. The fragment is of a mid-red clay with a dark orange slip on both faces. The sharp curve of the vessel suggests it is from a bowl. The vessel is probably Central Gaulish in origin based on its similarity to other fragments of samian (SUSS-3978A5). The vessel would have been wheel throw and then placed in a mould.

The outside of the vessel is decorated with a band of vertical curvilinear motifs running just below the shoulder of the vessel, contained within two horizontal lines of beading. Above is a molded linear decoration. In the top left corners is a leaping lion, the front half all that is visible. The mane is decorated using a stippling technique rather than the more naturalistic style of decoration. To the right is a series of three vertical beaded lines with another beaded line below.

Dimensions: length: 55.99 mm; width: 46.30 mm; thickness: 5.75 mm; weight: 16.93g.
