Fabric, firing, surface
Typical fabric (buff; very fine), firing, and surface treatment (unslipped). Very cleanly and sharply made.
Preservation comment
Eleven joining sherds preserve 80% from top of lamp and upper walls but missing small pieces of discus and shoulder and nearly entire nozzle. Three joining sherds, separate from discus, preserve entire base and adjacent walls. Slight, very sparse abrasion; mostly clean breaks; thin, extensive film of encrustation.
