Ca. 100-300 AD.
A redware plate, a confluence of artistry and functionality, commands attention with its rounded basin that gently cradles its form atop a delicate ring foot. The dish, adorned with a broad flange, beckons with an air of sophisticated design, further heightened by the presence of a meticulously detailed double circumferential groove. The plate's surface, now adorned with earthly encrustations, invites contemplation, whispering of the passage of centuries and the storied history that it has borne witness to. The encrustations, akin to time's gentle embrace, narrate an unspoken dialogue between the artefact and the environment it has inhabited.
