Item Details
Description
4th century A.D. A substantial redware fragment, likely from a cistern, with stepped neck and rim, bearing a leaping lion left in raised relief; 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. 254 grams, 17.5 cm (6 7/8 in.). Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister. The most ancient production of red African ware had begun in Flavian Age. Towards the second half of the 3rd century A.D. – but most probably before – the production reached its zenith and redware African pottery was imported from all the Imperial provinces. Sometimes it reached the western provinces in a later age: for example in Carnuntum (Pannonia) the most recent specimens are dated at the 5th century A.D. [No Reserve]
