- Description
- Dish with low foot. Six stamps extant, five complete: roughly concentric circuit of crosses aligned so that vertical arms radiate from center (one cross has right arm crossing break), two hares running right within (Group III, late 5th-late 6th century). Double band of large rouletting around stamped.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Slightly granular fabric fired to consistent light red, no core; some tiny varied bits including angular sand and a single large lime chunk visible in a break. Slip is variably preserved but was slightly darker; most thickly preserved on interior, exterior nearly plain in patches. Overall construction is heavy, and fabric is just slightly coarser than usual for LRC.
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves ca. 25-28% of circumference of base and large part of floor with turn to wall. Extensive, slight abrasion and rare pitting and scratching; slightly worn breaks; scattered specks of encrustation.
