- Description
-
Mould-made pottery lamp with two nozzles with flaring rounded terminations, an applied vertical band handle, and a rectangular lug on each side of the body. There is a plain rim round the filling-hole. The wide rounded shoulder is decorated with ivy-leaves and flowers. On top of each nozzle is a figure of Eros dancing; between the nozzles is a mask of Papposilenos; these features may have been applied after the lamp left the mould. There is a base-ring. One nozzle, the handle and one lug are missing. Covered with a black slip.
