A fine Roman redware shallow bowl featuring a flat raised base. The sides rise up and slightly curve in towards the rim. The smooth outer and inner walls present faint ridges, showing how the clay was worked during the wheel-production process. The centre is decorated with six incised circles, each enriched with three bands of dots interspersed between three concentric circles. The design is framed by a simple band.
