On pieces that can safely be attributed to common original there appear three distinct decorative elements : (a) foliate border I" wide by *" high, consisting of continuous frond with closely set and deeply ribbed pointed leaves ; (b) circular medallions, diam. 2f, with double ring edge, inner band of separate leaf or flame motif, and central five-petalled flower; these were set close to border (A.T. iii. 0053) (c) conventional fleur-de-lis with double binding at neck and wavy stalk increasing in width and ending in two rounded lobes (A.T. ii. 007, iii. 0037); total length 4f"; relief on one plane. These were set between the medallions, flower close to border (A.T. 0068), stalk at right-angles to it. Whole originally in crude clay which has been accidentally burned ; one or two pieces show signs of vitrifaction.
