Description

A terracotta lamp is photographed side-on on a pale card mount, with its open bowl turned upward and a raised lip at the left end. The surface is rough and mottled, with darker shading inside the bowl and a thick, uneven rim. A handwritten label is partly cut off at the bottom edge of the card.
