Description

Complete lamp

with nozzle

body

and handle preserved. Decoration on the upper bulging

convex surface includes an ivy leaf closest to the nozzle

which is then flanked on either side by a series of internal spirals adjacent to one another; no dividing lines between or circles underneathe them. The inner

circular concave surface around the central hole is much shallower than the previous five specimen (indeed it is almost flat)

and also has no decoration. Handle has one thick groove down its length

slightly to one side of the handle; traces of charring on the base of the lamp

and wire marks visible near the bottom of the handle. Originally broken into about two pieces

now glued back together into a whole. White sediment present especially on the base

some on handle

and one bit on body. The nozzle is also much shallower/at 180 degrees straight from the body of the lamp

not sloping upwards as the previous five specimen. There is an incised groove on either side of the ivy leaf

which join at the leafs end and form one shallow groove to the hole in the nozzle.
