Description
Bibliography

Black-glazed single-nozzle lamp found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns.

Its base is disk-shaped and the short body has a curved profile. The relatively wide rim slants inwards, the nozzle is short and the wick hole oval. The horizontal handle forms a loop and is decorated with shallow grooves along its back. The whole lamp surface is covered in fine black paint, except for its base on which reddish slip has been applied.
