The plate is painted red on the top surface with a band of geometric design down the center in black and white. The rim is painted brown/black and there are two protrusions on either side of the rim. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color.
