Fabric, firing, and surface description
Late Roman Corinthian “red“ fabric (brick red, gritty; somewhat crumbly?), firing, and surface. Slight joining ridge and webbing but clean seam and alignment.
Preservation comment
One large sherd preserves ca. 75% of top part of lamp, including over two-thirds of discus and shoulder, most of nozzle, and upper handle. Slight erosion, moderate to severe, extensive abrasion, and slight chipping around edges; worn breaks; rare patches of encrustation.
