Roman samian bowl, decorated
Ovolo with three-pronged terminal. Th etongue is adherent to the right side of "egg". Panel decoration, demarcated by wavy lines, with rosettes at the junctures. (1) In divided panel a Lion to R. (cf.D.747, FLORVS) between two upright stipuled leaves. The leaf, as depicted on this bowl, lacks the basal pinnate ornament of the older type. Beneath the lion, oblique wavy lines and arrowheads. (2) Diana and Small Hind (D.63a). The hind legs of the Hind are missing, due probably to a broken figure-stamp. (3) In divided panel a cruciform ornament and a goose with outstretched neck. (4) Victory holding an object in her left hand (D.482). (5) The design is closed by a straight wreath, composed of repeated, overlapping cushion-like ornaments. Fair glaze and modelling.
