Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A fragment of a probably Medieval vessel dating from AD1100 - AD1500. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a mid orange fabric with a black, unoxidised core. The inner surface has been treated with a brown slip whilst the slip on the outer surface is black. Along one edge is a strip of yellow slip measuring 10.67mm in width. The fragment is a body sherd and is therefore undiagnostic. It is also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 30.82mm in height, 48.58mm in width, 6.14mm in thickness and weighs 11.00g.
