Description

A terracotta lamp photographed at an angle on a plain grey ground. It has a shallow oval basin with a raised rim and a short pinched spout at the left end, whose tip is darkened, possibly by soot. Small holes pierce the rim, and a small dark support sits beneath the lamp at the bottom edge.
