Description

Roman Redware Sherd Group with Lions
4th-5th century A.D. The larger fragment with stepped neck and rim, bearing a leaping lion right in raised relief; the smaller fragment with leonine protome; both in terra sigillata africana; modern suspension loop to reverse. Cf. Humer, F., Kremer, G., Pollhammer, E., Pülz, A., AD 313 Von Carnuntum zum Christentum, Bad Voslau, 2014, n.331, for similar fragment of African redware. 54 grams total, 35-60 mm (1 3/8 - 2 3/8 in.).

Acquired 1960s-1990s. From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister. The most ancient production of red African ware began in the Flavian Age. Towards the second half of the 3rd century A.D. – but most probably before – the production reached its zenith and African redware pottery was imported from all the Imperial provinces.
