Description
Bibliography

Single-nozzle lamp unearthed in 1864 to the northeast of the Propylaia.

Its foot is disc-shaped and the body walls curve inwards. The rounded rim slopes towards the central opening. The nozzle is short and the wick-hole oblong. The whole lamp is covered with glazing that varies between red-brown and black due to its firing conditions, whereas dull reddish slip has been applied on the base’s underside.
