Vessberg type 19 (slipper lamp). Mold-made, with applied conical handle. Broad, sharply carinated body; on the discus, indistinct pattern with central filling hole, surrounded by two raised lines that run forward to the wick hole, forming a channel between the two; on the shoulder, a pattern of wavy tendrils. Undefined base, with raised line extending to front.
Intact, but heavily encrusted. The wick hole has been crudely formed in the center of the discus.
