Casgliadau Arlein

A bowl by a Hadrianic Lezoux potter who rarely used ovolos, but always closed his decoration with a bead-row. The panels contain: (1) a pair of dancers, (0363, D210); (2) a slatire, with tulip-leaves at the sides (Rogers G147?), acanthi at the top and bottom (one of the sries, K5-14), a bifid motif below the upper acanthus (Rogers G285?), and an astragalus above the other; (3) a seated Hercules (D450 variant). The seven-beaded rosettes used as junction-masks are Rogers C280. The tambourine dancer is on a bowl by this potter from South Shields and recurs, together with the acanthus, on a bowl from Lancaster.
