Form 37, Central Gaulish; eight sherds including one with a partial stamp within the decoration identified by Brian Hartley as that os Sissus I. The ovolo is Roger 1974 B28 used by a variety of mainly Hadrianic potters. Below a wavy line border is a series of festoons, Rogers 1974, F32. The larger set of joining sherds shows the following sequence within successive festoons: large rosette in a circle, Roger 1974 C6; a bird O.2296; the hare, O.2116; and a damaged figure, perhaps the peacock, O.2365, which appears on one of the other sherds. Below the ?peacock is a small stamp of Sissus. Below the festoons is a row of small single-bordered medallions seperated by masks similar to O.1292. The figures within these medallions are generally poorly impressed. Where discernible they include a small bird, O.2294 andthe head of a bear, possibly part of O.1606 along with at least one example of the mask which also acts as a separator between medallions throughout.
