Description

Complete lamp

with nozzle

body

and handle preserved. Decoration on the upper

convex surface of the body comprises of alternating ivy leaves and protruding half knobs

each element overall poorly preserved and located between two vertical incised lines. The inner

circular concave surface around the central hole has no decoration

but is bordered by a single protruding outer ring. Handle has one thick groove down its centre; no traces of charring at the bottom of the handle. The base is uneven and not flat

with a slight protrusion around the centre; there is a deep gash mark from the middle of the base halfway up the convex surface of the lamp. White sediment coats much of the surface; traces of red coating visible especially on the base. The level of the nozzle is horizontal/flat compared to the body

with no rising slope. Decoration similar to SML1989. The contour of the end of the nozzle also curves outwards into a point rather than smooth circle

before joining back together in a pointed semicircle.
