Description

A clay oil lamp shown on a pale background, its body rounded and its surface slightly rough. A large oval filling hole sits in a raised collar near the top, and a pointed nozzle with a small opening projects to the left; a small handle-like knob rises at the back. A grey label reading Me.648 is placed on the surface below the lamp, and a handwritten number is in the top left corner.
