Plate with thickened rim and high ring foot. Rim is rounded in profile and offset from wall by groove on interior and sharp tooling underneath. Slightly flaring ring foot has one band of diagonal rouletting that is variably impressed into it slightly concave outer face, this gives the appearance of two bands of rouletting but that is not the case.
Fabric, firing, and surface description
Slightly granular fabric with occasional lime chunk, typical for ARS D. Thick, matte, red slip on interior is chipped and worn but well smoothed; exterior essentially plain, with some patches of excess slip.
Preservation comment
Three joining sherds preserve entire profile, 30% of rim circumference, and 50% of base circumference. Moderate, extensive abrasion, scratching, and chipping on all surfaces; somewhat clean breaks. One patch of dark discoloration: scorching?
