Terracotta oil lamp
Not on view
Loeschcke Type 8. Mold-made, with large ring handle. Discus: plain, shallow tear-drop shape, with a single central filling hole, and a small funnel-shaped channel to nozzle and wick hole. On the broad, horizontal shoulder, a row of impressed leaves. Two crescent-shaped projections on edge at sides. Undefined, slightly hollow base.
Complete, except for one large hole in base. The weathered edges suggest that the hole made have been made deliberately in antiquity.
