- Preservation comment
- One sherd preserves ca. 55% of lamps including over one-half of discus, left shoulder and back right shoulder, entire handle, most of right wall, and less than one-half of base. Slight, somewhat extensive abrasion and rare scratching and chipping around edges; worn breaks; scattered specks of encrustation.
