Roman samian bowl
2 samian bowl sherds, form Dr37. S91 is a small sherd of orange/pink ware and quite a glossy red slip. The design could be an all over vine pattern or possibly a freestyle with 'trees' in the background. Central Gaulish and Trajanic. S92 is an orange ware with a glossy bright orange slip. From a very well made mould, probably pre-120 in date. The decoration is a half acanthus leaf and a nude man to the right (O656). There is another figure, possibly a pygmy, but uncertain. Boon "This sherd must mean something, but goodness knows what."
Dr 37 is a hemispherical decorated bowl
