Description

A terracotta lamp seen from above and to one side, with a round filling hole with a raised rim at the top and a long oval nozzle to the right. Its surface is smooth with faint throwing marks, a pale patch of filler or repair sits on the side, and the broken lower edge of the base shows beneath. The print is cut to an irregular outline and mounted on a grey card with a cream border.
