Presentation :

Aerial view of the sigillia workshop district in Rheinzabern. The drawing is in landscape format. It is arranged within a frame drawn in ink. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The potters’ craft activities are organized inside several quadrangular buildings lined up against each other along a lane. They include storerooms, kilns, turning workshops, drying areas (where ceramics are stored), clay extraction pits and storage basins. Donkeys and carts help with transportation.
