Basin

Popularization note

The bowl made with the use of a potter's wheel belongs to a set of vessels from grave equipment from the late Roman period (end of 3rd - 1st half of 4th century AD) discovered in a multicultural settlement of the so-called Masłomęcka group. Research at the site was conducted in 1959.

The burial belonged to a young girl (about thirteen years old). It contained grave gifts in the form of nine vessels, seven of which represent high quality turned pottery, as well as a glass vessel, a silver clasp, and a clay rattle.

The described vessel has a diameter of the spout larger than the diameter of the body. The foot is clearly distinguished. The external surface is smooth and dark grey in colour.

The grave, in which the girl and the gifts were buried, can be associated with Gothic tribes, which in the earlier Roman period (3rdand 4th century AD) migrated from the north to the south and formed a highly developed civilisation in the Hrubieszów Basin, where they exchanged luxury goods, such as earthenware made on a potter's wheel in highly specialised workshops, probably in the Black Sea area.
