Description

Lamp, oil. The object is an oil lamp with a ovoid base and oil chamber. The lamp is modelled as extremely fine head of satyr, with the beard forming the wick spout. The filling hole is large and the wick hole is medium. The nozzle is incorporated into the body of the vessel. The headdress of the satyr is flared away from the oil chamber. There are chips from the face and side of the vessel. The fabric is dark brown, with a black slip, and is burnished and unglazed. The handle is broken off.

Part of the Archaeology collection.
