This appears to be a fragment or shard of ancient Roman terra sigillata pottery, characterized by its distinctive bright orange-red color and smooth glazed surface.

This type of pottery was high-quality tableware in Roman times, often featuring decorative elements, though this particular piece appears to be from a plain section of the vessel.
