Descripción

Fine terra sigillata that was produced in the province of Africa Proconsularis, the area corresponding to modernTunisia and other terrritory. It is distinguished by a thick-orange red slip over a slightly granular fabric. Interior surfaces are completely covered, while the exterior can be only partially slipped, particularly on later examples.
