Description
Bibliography

Almost intact single-nozzle lamp that was found in 1957 on the south slope of the Acropolis. Its base is flat, slightly concave, the body low and the handle high. A flat and wide lamp disk surrounds the filling-hole and the shoulder is decorated with rays. The end of the long nozzle is triangular and adorned with floral motifs in relief. The lamp is wholly covered with paint that varies from brown-red to black. Fire traces are retained around the wick-hole due to the constant use of the vessel.
