Name

lamp

Description

Incomplete lamp

with body and handle preserved

but nozzle missing. Decoration on the upper

convex surface includes an ivy leaf closest to the nozzle

which is then separated on either side by two incised lines

adjacent to each of which is a protruding half knob. On either side of these

and taking up the rest of the circular surface

are elongated semicircles motifs contoured by another line

resembling the top semicircular parts of the flutes of a column and perhaps imitating an egg-and-dart pattern. Under this is a series of circles with a single hole in the middle of each. The inner

circular concave surface around the central hole has no decoration

but has a protruding circular edge half way between the larger outer protruding circular edge and the central hole. Handle has one thick groove down its length

slightly off-centre; traces of charring on the base and sides of the lamp; pock marks on the side; white sediment present on the base. Originally broken into at least three pieces

now glued back together into a whole. Decoration very similar to SML2000.
