Terra Sigillata Cup with Bud and Flower Pattern
View through Harvard Museums
Fragmentary terra sigillata cup or broad beaker recomposed from several fragments. In shape the vessel has deep walls, a curved body, and no foot. The walls are decorated with alternating buds and flowers. A circle of flowers surrounds the foot. In this type of vessel the decoration was typically separated from the rim by a groove, in this case accented by a row of beads, above which would have been a plain rim (1).
