- Description
-
Mould-made pottery lamp with a voluted rounded-tipped nozzle, a narrow shoulder and an inward-sloping rim. Between the nozzle volutes is an air-hole. The discus is decorated with two lovers on a bed: both are kneeling, the man approaches from behind and holds the woman's right leg high. The lamp stands on a base-ring; much of the rear is missing. Covered with a dark brown slip.
