Abstract
Terracotta lamp with dark brown surface treatment and circular shape. Spout appears to have been added to circular form after initial shaping. Circular spout hole and tiny central fill hole. Lamp form is similar to a hand mirror, with two incised circles forming a rim around the central depressed circular area and raised semi circles articulating the spout. "415" incised on bottom. No clear signs of vegetal or figural décor, just geometric articulations. Circular base with no elevation. Late Roman.
