 ornamented with a sharply incised feathered zig-zag pattern ; the 

 exterior is coated with a brown colour, and the part without orna-

 three) is said to be characteristic of these early Belgic wares. The 

 chief centre of both the red and black Belgic ware is believed to

 ware in the same kiln, with the same potter's stamps on both. The 

 light red ware, sometimes known as " false Samian " lacks the
