Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Early Bronze Age pottery food vessel

Thick, coarse grey ware, with small grits and buff surface, of globular form, with horizontally corrugated wall, internally bevelled rim and protruding foot. The decoration consists of shallow oblique grooves on the bevel, and a pair of horizontal lines on the exterior of the rim; with, below, a row of alternating oblique lines and shallow circular depressions on each corrugation. The lower part has what appears to be a debased type of running lozenge or lenticular pattern in shallow lines. Savory group E - late tradition.
