Roman Period Blackware Bowl
Circa 2nd century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £208

Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a Ruislip, UK, gentleman, by inheritance.
The most interesting feature of this bowl is that its whole outline suggests that it has been copied from a Terra Sigillata bowl of type Dragendorff. The moulded figures of the decorated original were, however, probably outside of the craftsman's range, and in places the surface of the bowl is covered with a crudely executed ornamented band. -
