Roman samian bowl, decorated

Ovolo with twisted stem and rosette terminal, bordered below by a wavy line. The chief element of the design is a vine-scroll bordered by two 'milled' continuous lines, somewhat in the style of IANVS. The junction between the lower and upper halves of these double lines is marked by astragali, on the right side. Annular ornaments in the upper part of the field ; seven-beaded rosettes in the lower part of the field. The vine-scroll consists of a winding stalk, from which bunches of grapes and tendrils depend. In the scroll a bird is depicted, picking grapes. The vine-leaf is distinctly naturalistic. The general scheme is that of D.1148, which is, however, much more conventional.The design is closed by a straight wreath of three leaves in repeated series. Good, but badly preserved, workmanship.

Dr 37 is a hemispherical decorated bowl
