Description

A terracotta lamp with a shallow, rounded bowl and a long, thick handle extending out to the left. Its surface is pale and encrusted, with darker patches and some wear along the rim. The lamp rests on a light background, and its soft shadow falls beneath the bowl, with the print set on a card mount.
