Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of pottery, likely a piece of a larger vessel like a bowl or plate. The fragment has a distinctive shape, with one edge roughly straight and the other curved. The interior surface of the fragment is coated with a vibrant reddish-orange paint, while the exposed edges reveal a more natural, earthy-toned clay.

On the painted surface, there's a noticeable decorative element. The design features a series of concentric circles surrounding a rectangular or square area containing text or a symbol. The nature of the inscribed mark is unclear, but it may be an "A".

The fragment is set against a plain, light-colored background, which helps to highlight its features. The quality of the piece and its simple design suggests that it could be ancient.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a fragment of ancient pottery. The shard is light brown with a terracotta-colored glaze covering a significant portion of its surface. The glaze appears to be smooth and even, with some minor imperfections and small white spots visible. There are concentric circular patterns impressed into the glazed surface, suggesting a decorative motif or possibly a mark. Within these circles, there are angular lines or symbols, potentially forming a character or initial. The fragment is irregularly shaped due to its broken state, and the edges are rough and unglazed, exposing the underlying clay material. The piece seems to be photographed against a neutral background, which helps to highlight the colors and textures of the pottery.
