- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Typical firing, fabric, and surface treatment for ware: fabric pale orange with a tinge of pink; slightly soft, smooth break but vaguely powdery texture; numerous, poorly sorted, tiny to small, angular black bits (volcanic?); somewhat thick, uneven, semimatte slip, orangish brown but mottled. Fabric marks from pressing clay into mold on interior discus. Central Italian-Campanian?
- Preservation comment
- Two joining sherds preserve entire upper part of lamp but missing front right nozzle. Moderate to severe, extensive erosion and abrasion; worn breaks.
