Small decorated fragment of the body of a Roman Samian Ware vessel, probably of East Gaulish manufacture, dating to the mid first to second century AD. The decoration consists of a raised curve, with a smaller curve above it to the right, followed by a strip containing an ovolo design above this. The shallow curve of the fragment suggests it probably once belonged to a bowel or similar vessel, but the form of this is difficult to determine. Mid orange colour with reddish-orange slip.
