Commentary
A fragment of a ceramic vessel from the raetic settlement Himmelreich. The fragment is the handle probably of a jug. The fabric of the sherd is smoothed wheel pottery, from red brown to black in colour. The fragment indicates an oxidition/reduction firing. Medium-fine clay with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold. On vertical position outside of the handle fragment could be observed characters.
