Three sherds from a large bowl in fine, pink ware with a good red gloss. The form appears to be fairly early, with a rim which is not markedly everted, though rather deep. The upper zone of decoration is a leaf scroll featuring heart shaped leaves with curved tips in two sizes. There is a middle zone of arrowheads below the central moulding, and beneath this, a frieze of plain overlapping circles. There is an almost exact parallel to the upper-zone scroll in Knorr 1952, attributed to Aquitanus. Another occurrence of a similar, though not identical, scroll is Knorr 1919, A (OFICBILICAT). Overlapping circles tend to be embellished with small points or rosettes, rather than left plain.
