Description

A line drawing in side view of a single lamp-shaped object on a pale ground. The shallow body tapers to a pointed nozzle at the left, with a raised rim along its upper edge and a small projection rising from the middle of the top. A long, thin curved handle extends to the right and ends in a rounded tip, and hatching shades the lower body.
