Object card
English, translated from the French record
Moulded lamp with a biconical profile and a nozzle added later, from Campanopetra, Salamis, square K V/γ1; the black gloss has largely disappeared, and the knob is shaped as a lion's muzzle (L. 5.2 cm; 1 = 2.3). The upper truncated cone is decorated with radiating ribs, and the salmon-coloured clay survives only as a fragment of the lid with its knob, so the lamp is incomplete. Hellenistic. Inventory L_0203; 5 April 1966.
