Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Vessel fragment of Roman Samian ware. It is a base sherd with part of the bast ring still intact. It seems as if the sherd was part of a plate or similar as the obverse displays a shallow, semi-circular rim on the outside.

Notes:

This pot sherd is one of over two hundred collected by the amateur archaeologist Ernie Pickering in the early 20th Century. It was left with Lancashire Museums County Service.
