sim. Augustan imagery on ceramic emblemata from bowls: vonGonzenbach1968, pp. 88-91, nos. 10, 11, figs. 6, 7 (from Collection Eugène Piot and Paris)
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Typical fabric (fine with varied inclusions but micaceous, pinkish hue), firing (hard), and surface description (somewhat thick, even slip; where visible orangish or reddish brown but mottled).
Preservation comment
[Needs completing with discus] One large sherd preserves entire base and adjacent walls. Slight, sparse abrasion and minor chipping around edges; slightly worn breaks; sparse patches of encrustation. Weathering consistent with long marine submersion.
