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."
