Description

Four terracotta lamps are arranged in a two-by-two grid on a light mount. Each has a shallow, rounded bowl with a pinched spout projecting to one side, and their surfaces are greyish. The lamp at lower right has a worn, flaking patch on its interior, and handwritten notes appear along the bottom edge of the mount.
