Roman samian bowl, decorated
The panelled upper zone contains a fan-shaped plant (Hermet 1934, pl.14, 81) over a butterfly tie, flanked by a seated hare to left and a dog to left (Hermet 1934, pl. 26, 27 or 28), over a glass blade. An adjacent panel had trifid motifs in series, impressed sideways (Knorr 1919, taf. 57, 12 ?). The lower zone consists of a wreath of small leaves, over a zone of triple festoons with stirrup-leaves and tassels. Many of the details were used by Mercator i and some of his associates.
