Roman samian bowl, decorated
Part of the plain band beneath the rim, showing the horizontal ridging of this part of the bowl. Ovolo with twisted tongue stem and rosette terminal, bordered below by a zig-zag line, sharper and more pointed than the wavy line of South Gaulish ware. (1) In the field, a crown. (2) The head of a bearded man to L. and a pointed object, probably representative of the knotted hair of a woman (cf.D.308 Silenus and Ariadne, ALBVCIVS, BANVVS and BVTRIO). The Brecon piece has an excellent glaze and good workmanship.
Dr 37 is a hemispherical decorated bowl
