Roman samian bowl, decorated
Zonal decoration. The upper zone, perhaps panelled, probably includes running animals. A scroll in the lower zone has a heart-shaped leaf and small rosette in the upper concavity. The lower concavity contains a Cupid (Hermet 1934, pl. 18, 39) and bud (Hermet 1934, pl. 10, 60). The Cupid and rosette were used by Calvus i. and appear on a bowl in his style from London (Museum of London). He also used similar leaves.
Dr 37 is a hemispherical decorated bowl
