Almost whole pottery bowl in Shape 8 of Terra Sigillata produced in a pottery workshop in the city of Iesso or in Llobregós valley. It has a rounded lip, concave body with decoration on the outer surface using a mould with different geometric and vegetables motifs, arranged vertically and separated by wavy lines also arranged vertically. The base has an annular foot and the bottom is repaired with lead staples. These pots were fired at a low temperature which makes the varnish adhere poorly.
