Details
The burning of incense was an integral part of Roman votive rituals allowing supplicants to make offerings to the gods from whom they desired patronage and protection.
The petitioner would place a lump of burning coal in the burner's upper bowl. On top of this would be placed the resin or herbs that would smoulder gently and produce sweet-smelling smoke. It is known that Frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and rosemary were among the incense used during these rituals.
This item has been fired in our replica Roman kiln at Vindolanda Roman Fort using similar techniques to those used by original Roman British potters.
Materials
Terracotta clay.
Dimensions
Approx. 128 mm tall, 142 mm diameter
Production
We have hand-made this replica Roman pot in our studio in beautiful Northumberland and based on an original artefact. It has been to a temperature of between 800 & 1000 Centigrade, using the same techniques that the original potters employed. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot its unique character.
