Red terracotta plate with a shallow central well, a small stamped medallion, and scalloped lobed handles on either side.

Terracotta plate

A shallow red terracotta dish with a raised rim and a stamped circular medallion at the center of its well. Two wide, scalloped lobes project from opposite sides, giving the plate a flat, almost winged silhouette against a neutral ground.

Look closer: A small circular stamp at the center of the well, too faint to read.
