Sherd
1st century BCE-1st century CE
Description
Fragment of the body of an Arretine ware vessel. There are three vertical registers or panels separated by lines of raised, round dots. The panel on the left features a small lion mid-stride, with the feet not touching any register lines. Above his head is a fragment of a roundel. The middle panel has a narrow, vertical vegetal design. The panel to the right depicts a head with hair down to just below the ears, perhaps a theater mask. The figure appears to be frowning. Wheel marks are still visible beneath the decorations and on the inside of the fragment.
