A resized image of Medieval ceramic base sherd from a Coarse Border Ware large jug or cistern with thumbed base

A Medieval ceramic base sherd from a Coarse Border Ware large jug or cistern with thumbed base dating 1340-1500. The vessel is decorated with a band of thumbed decoration around the base, however this has been done with a tool rather than a thumb. This decoration is continuous around the base. The fabric is cream with red inclusions; the surface is heavily stained probably from the riverine environment.
