Fluted silver bowl from the Mildenhall treasure, Roman Britain, 4th century. Decorated with a chased leaf pattern on the flat panels. The centre of the bowl has geometric decoration in the form of an interwoven six-pointed star. This motif, like other geometric and floral designs, was often used decoratively in the Roman period, but it had no connection with Judaism. The formal adoption of the Star of David as a Jewish symbol took place only after the medieval period. Large bowls of this type were evidently intended to hold water for washing hands at table.
