Terracotta plate

A shallow terracotta plate on a low foot, its rim banded with dark strokes and its well painted in black, orange and white. At the center, a woman's head in profile faces left, her hair bound and set with small white accents.

Look closer: The dark glazed foot ring beneath the plate, which supports it.
