Roman pottery (Samian ware) and mould

I made this model after seeing Dani Wootton's excellent '5 Fascinating Finds' video on the Time Team channel https://youtu.be/m-Z1uM9DMRI This model illustrates Dani's description of how Roman pottery was mass produced using a mould with decorations pressed into the mould surface. Click on the annotations on the model for more information. In researching this model I visited the British Museum in London to get a closer look at the 'punches' that were used to create the decorative indentations in the mould surface. I felt sure the surface of the punch must be curved to follow the contour of the mould but wasn't sure if the curve was more pronounced so that the punch would be rocked back and forwards when being pressed into the clay. The example I saw at the British Museum (Ancient Rome room - display case 26 - see below) showed a punch with a figure on it and a slight convex curve which I think would have matched the surface of the mould.

本模型的创作灵感源自丹尼·伍顿（Dani Wootton）在Time Team频道发布的优质视频《5 Fascinating Finds》，视频链接为https://youtu.be/m-Z1uM9DMRI。本模型直观展示了丹尼所描述的罗马陶器量产工艺：通过在模具表面压制装饰纹路的方式批量生产陶器。点击模型上的标注即可获取更多相关信息。
为完成本模型的研发，我专程前往伦敦大英博物馆，近距离观察了用于在模具表面制作装饰凹痕的冲头（punch）。我曾笃定冲头表面需为曲面，以匹配模具的轮廓，但不确定其曲率是否更大，以便在按压黏土时可前后摇动冲头。
我在大英博物馆古罗马展厅（展柜26，详见下方）所见的冲头示例带有人物造型，且带有轻微的凸面弧度，我认为该弧度可与模具表面完美适配。
