DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Reddish-brown wheel-thrown earthenware bowl fragments coated with a cream slip incised under a yellow glaze, the pattern enhanced with areas of brown glaze on A and C.

A:
Shape: Fragment; section of lower body with convex sides on a straight foot ring
Interior: yellow glaze over a cream slip coating. Two incised concentric circles frame the base, which bears a tripartite repeated floral pattern carved through the slip. Around this frame the lower body portion is decorated with a scalloped pattern which radiates upwards in short straight lines
Exterior: Undecorated yellow glaze applied direct to the body. The glaze runs over the foot ring, the underside left unglazed apart from some splashing

B:
Shape: Fragment, with flaring foot ring, base and part of carinated lower body with stepped straight sides sloping outwards
Interior: yellow glaze over a cream slip coating. Part of an incised circle frames the base, patterned with alternating parallel registers of abstract floral designs on a scribbled spiralling ground, and s-shaped motifs.
Exterior: Undecorated yellow glaze applied over a cream slip over the whole surface and running into the underside of the foot ring.

C: 
Shape: Fragment; section of lower body with slightly convex sides on an angled foot ring
Interior: yellow glaze over a cream slip coating. On the base, a series of parallel lines, enhanced with brown glaze, emanate from a crescent shape with flaring base, possibly a heraldic blazon. In the background, a pattern of densely spiralling scribbled ground.
Exterior: Undecorated yellow glaze applied over a cream slip, running over the foot ring in places
object type: Three earthenware fragments, all coated with a cream slip and incised under a yellow glaze, A and C enhanced with areas of brown glaze
