Roman samian bowl
4 samian bowl sherds: S29 is a base sherd (Dr37) of Southern Gaulish origin. It shows faint traces of a worn and damaged stamp. S30 is a sherd from the upper zone of a form Dr37 bowl. It is thin red ware with a good gloss. Panels on the right show 3 rows of well-spaced arrowheads separated from the central panel by a close zig-zag line and six-pointed stars as terminals. There is a crudely modelled rabbit to the left, very like Oswald 2105, but smaller. S31 and Dr 32 are both bowl sherds of form Dr37 also of Southern Gaulish origin. The former has two zones with a wreath between with plain shell-like leaves, the latter has a matt, rather orange slip. There are panles but little else remaining.
