Decorated arretine bowl
Arretine bowl (ca. 9cm x 19.5cm) ca. 2nd cent. A.D.. Repeating pattern of cloaked male figure blowing horn while engaged in a sexual act with a female bending forward and looking back. Elaborate floral spacing design followed by a cherub on a pedestal within an arch supported by spiral fluted columns.

additional information from Harlan J. Berk: Erotic bowls of this type are extremely rare and this example appears to be unrecorded. Restored from many fragments, but only two significant loses to the rim with one extending into the design.

I have no information whether it is Banassac or not, but it is very similar to some Banassac bowls.
