^{page 272 note 2} It may be noted that in another section of this ring-vault mosaic a whole service of fourth-century silver vessels is represented, dispersed among foliage. Among them may be remarked forms analogous to some of the Traprain pieces, e. g. a fluted dish or basin.

Inst. xxxix, 1914, pp. 104 fF.Google Scholar If the attribution of this dish to the second century is correct, it ranks with the mosaic pavements as an important example of the spread of oriental motives and methods into the West. It is mentioned by Mr. Curie.
