Terracotta oil lamp
Mold-made, with ring handle. Discus: a Nereid riding on a hippocampus to right, with billowing veil behind; a single filling hole at bottom towards nozzle, with a band of two grooves and a raised circle around discus. On shoulder, a row of impressed circular leaf patterns. Incise base ring, and a concave base.
The detail of the scene is very indistinct. The back of the handle forms part of the molded body, with the upper part added by hand.
Intact.
