Cremation Urn
M6383
Information
Anglo-Saxon cremation urn, hand-made. Two graffiti:
(a) on the shoulder above the decoration: D(is) M(anibus)
(b) below (a), within a panel forming a compartment in the decorated band (for text and translation, see Inscription field below)
It is apparent that the inscription is a modern forgery, plausibly based on a genuine inscription.
