- Material is Corinthian, though relative position of left panel and back of nozzle, and herringbone are unusual: Corinthian copy or imitation of Athenian design?

- Typical fabric, firing, and surface treatment for ware: pale buff with slightly pinkish core; fine, hard; very rare lime specks.
- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 15% from upper left middle to front part of lamp, including small part of discus and front left shoulder up to back of nozzle. Slight, sparse abrasion; slightly worn breaks; very thin, faint film of encrustation.
