Ensemble mobilier d'une sépulture

Clermont-Ferrand (63) - Musée Bargoin

Three pots, three bowls and three miniature jugs in clear ceramic, some covered with a white slip. Several of them originally contained plants (beans, dressed barley, rosehips) which attest to the practice of a funeral meal. In fact, these objects come from a funerary complex dating from the second century AD. At that time, the population practiced cremation "à la romaine".
