Description

A grey-brown terracotta oil lamp photographed in three-quarter view, with a round filling hole on the top and a short spout projecting to the right. A small handle-like knob sits on the shoulder near the spout, and the lamp stands on a low, straight-sided foot. The surface is worn and pitted, with faint incised lines visible on the body.
