Description

A terracotta lamp seen at an angle, with a pointed nozzle at the left and a round filling hole at the right end. The top has a central circular depression surrounded by raised concentric rings, and a row of impressed dots runs along the side near the nozzle. The surface is rough and worn, and the lamp rests on a pale, plain surface that casts a soft shadow.
