Description
Lower handle does not reach base and has double circles at corner(s). Body below suture slopes steeply down to base. Flat base has single circular groove around crisp incuse signature preserving triple circle in center (bull’s-eye ornament) followed by pi. Considering space we would expect no more than three letters before stamp, and there seems to have been a second line: [. . .]◎Π|[ΟΥ].
Fabric, firing, surface
7.5 YR 8/3, pink. Typical Early-Middle Roman Corinthian lamp fabric.
Preservation description
One fragment preserves ca. 50% of base. Slight, sparse abrasion with minute pitting and minor chipping; worn breaks; sparse patches of encrustation.
