Description

Abstract:
Circular terracotta lamp with a very round body and a pulled and folded loop handle. Large fill hole and spout with signs of use. Handle is a loop or roll with three incised divisions, mirroring circular incisions on the side of the lamp. Indentation around central hole. Circular base is somewhat depressed and numbered 367 (perhaps 307?). The spout was clearly added on after the initial shaping, with bottom clearly showing the break.
