Incense Cup, Bar Hill, Antonine Wall

3D Model

Also known as a tazza, this carinated bowl on a narrow pedistal probably held incense and may have been used in domestic rituals and purification rites at Bar Hill.

The Antonine Wall stretched right across Scotland, from the Clyde to the Forth. Constructed around 142 AD, and occupied for only 20 years, the remains of its ramparts, steep ditches, forts and bathhouses are still visible today.
