A reproduction of a fish plate from Apulia in south Italy, possibly the work of the 'Flatfish Painter', dating to the late 4th century BCE and now in the Louvre.
Fish plates were first produced in Athens during the 5th century BCE, but most surviving examples originate from South Italy. The sea life depicted, and the wave pattern encircling the rim reflects the plate's use as a container for holding fish sauce, which would have been placed in the dipped area in the centre.
