Dish

The front of the dish is coated with a brown engobe and decorated with white and green slip. Many dishes from the St. Asaph’s tradition have marlys with stylized leaves and lunettes trailed in similar fashion. The same decorator may have been responsible for a rundlet attributed to the St. Asaph’s tradition
