Body sherd of Roman greyware pottery decorated, above or below a plain band, with two or more horizontal rows of 10mm-diameter annular impressions within each of which the surface has been irregularly raised to a peak in a manner which might be described as rustication. This suggests that the implement used to form the impressions was a flat surface with a raised circular projection rather than an open ring, and that the clay momentarily adhered to this surface as the tool was withdrawn. Weight 5g. Mid 1st - 2nd century.

The surface between these, and between the smaller flange and the tip is concave. At the rear, roughly at the centre, there is a rectangular projection which is presumably the means of attachment to th…
