Object card
English, translated from the French record
Moulded circular lamp, Type 13, without handle and with a slightly projecting nozzle; the decorated medallion overflows slightly onto the plain rim. On the medallion, a winged Eros runs with his right arm brought round towards his body and his left arm thrust forward, in the position of an archer, with his quiver of arrows behind him; his face is seen from the front, and he seems to pursue a figure of which only a hand remains. Fragmentary: lid fragment, buff clay; slight traces of fire near the nozzle; L. 5.9 cm, l. 4.2 cm. Square K V/β9, Campanopetra, Sondage D, Roman period. Inventory L_0480; drawings D_0702, D_2550; slide C_2525; negative 02259_03; plates PL_18, PL_06; cf. Sal. 1003. 4 October 1965.
