When light hits a reflective surface, it bounces at the same angle that it hit. A rough or 'matte' surface scatters reflected light in random directions.
Most surfaces have some degree of shininess, as represented in the image.

It's possible it's just a flat plane but at the edge you just come back to the opposite edge.
Your brain just perceives it as round.
