Description

A round terracotta oil lamp photographed from above, with a short projecting nozzle at the top and a small loop handle at the lower edge. The filling hole is a small round opening near the centre of the shallow disc, and a raised rim runs around the body. The lamp is mounted on a plain grey mount, and the handwritten label at the bottom edge is partly cut off.
