A worn rim fragment from a Post Medieval redware storage jar. The sherd consists of part of the rim, decorative border below and a small amount of the body. The decorative border appears to have been made of a second piece of clay that was inserted into the gap between rim and body, and decorated with a pattern of semi-circular lines. Unlike KENT-8AF944, this example has been well sealed against the rest of the vessel, and the only visible evidence of the join is in the break. The vessel has a greenish brown glaze along the top of the rim and on the internal face. The external face has a singular patch of glaze, though the majority has been worn away. The sherd has a very thin layer of oxidisation on the outer edges, but the majority of the core is dark grey and unoxidised.
The sherd is 138.23mm wide, 73.58mm high and the rim is 33.19mm thick.The body is 19.16mm thick. It weighs 320g.
