Description

A round terracotta oil lamp seen from above, with a raised pattern of five or six petal or leaf shapes radiating around a central filling hole. Concentric ridges form a rim around the disc, and a nozzle with a round opening projects at the bottom. The lamp sits on a pale mount, with a handwritten number at the upper left.
