Description

A plain, buff-coloured terracotta lamp photographed against a pale grey backdrop. It has a tall, narrow handle rising from the back of the body, pierced at its top by a small hole, and a broad, shallow bowl with an upturned, pinched rim around the filling area. The lower left edge of the bowl is chipped, and the surface is slightly abraded.
