Description

A terracotta lamp photographed straight on against a plain grey backdrop. Its broad, open bowl has a raised rim, and a tall, thick handle rises from the back edge, with two small knobs where bowl and handle meet. The surface is plain and worn, with small pits and darker patches, and a printed code sits in the lower right corner of the print.
