Mould-made pottery lamp with a circular body, a rounded shoulder, and a short flat-topped semicircular nozzle set into the shoulder and defined by a lateral groove. At the rear is a pierced handle, grooved along the upper edge. The discus is surrounded by two circular grooves, and is decorated with a bust of Sol with rays extending from his head. Across the slightly raised base is the impressed name C.OPPI.RES. A long raised rib down the handle spine may be a mould-mark. Part of an iron tool remains in the filling-hole. Traces of a brown slip remain.
