Description

Ceramic punch with a plant motif that corresponds to No. 999 on Plate CLVIII in Mayet's catalogue (Mayet, 1984) and is documented in the pottery workshop at Tritium Magallum in Rioja. The location of this object in 2011 in the public baths in Iesso is an indication of the possible existence of pottery workshops dedicated to the production of Terra Sigillata in Iesso. The function of this punch was to print this plant motif on dishes before firing to decorate them.
