Mould-made pottery lamp with a double-convex body, a long splayed flat-topped nozzle with a curved tip, a circular base-ring, and a leaf-shaped lug on each side. The filling-hole is surrounded by a double moulding. The shoulder is decorated with ivy tendrils in relief, between the outer moulding of the filling-hole and a single moulding above the carination. On top of the nozzle is a ribboned thyrsos between two raised ridges, which end in volutes. The pinkish-buff surface is perhaps slipped.
