A post Medieval pottery body sherd from a Raeren panel jug (c.1575-1610). The body sherd includes part of the decorative panel which depicts the peasant’s dance. In the scen the man is to the left of the woman with his left arm outstretched. The woman also has her left arm outstretched. Above the two figures is a double arch. The finder has suggested that Jan Emens may be the pottery but Lyn Blackmore said that without the motto below the panel it is difficult to ascribe the mould to a specific potter and also a mould could be used by more than one potter. Dimensions: weight: 13.23g.

Notes:

The finder notes that the scenes of peasants dancing are based on a woodcuts series by Hans Sebald Beham. Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550) was a prolific German printmaker.
