Description

A heavily corroded metal lamp is seen from above, with a shallow round bowl, a pointed spout at the lower edge and a rim broken in places. A chain of encrusted looped links curves around the top and both sides of the lamp against a plain grey background. The surface is pitted and flaky, with pale crusts across the bowl.
