Description

A terracotta oil lamp photographed from above on a mounted card. The round central disc has radiating grooves and a small filling hole at its centre, and a border of small repeated curved motifs runs around the rim. The pinched nozzle is at the top and a second round hole is at the lower end, and the surface looks worn in places.
