Fetching coin data
Most of the body of the pot survives, though a large piece is missing from the side and a smaller one from the shoulder. The neck of the pot is broken off. Fabric. The fabric is hard, slightly gritty, and boasts a light cream colour. There are small red and black (or very dark) inclusions. The interior of the pot is unslipped and cream-coloured, with the marks of the coins it contained clearly visible. Slip. The colour of the slip is thin, matt, and variable, ranging from dull brownish-orange to blackish and purplish shades. Form. The body is almost globular and has no footring. The shoulder of the vessel features two light grooves and has a very slightly angled profile. There is now no trace of a handle, but a small one could have been attached to the area of the shoulder that is now lost. The vessel is a product of one of the Nene Valley potteries, and the fabric accords well with manufacture at or near Stibbington, Hunts., in the late third or early fourth century.
