Discus Iconography: Palm wreath. Description: Moldmade. Band handle with a deep median furrow decorated with a row of impressed circles. No side-lugs, contrary to the characteristic feature of Dressel 3. Narrow shoulder with cabled band. Slightly depressed discus. Flat-top splayed nozzle with blunt end. On each side of nozzle top, a groove ending in a volute at its junction with the body. Small ill-defined volutes continue below the nozzle with a rib--a common feature on some eastern lamp types. Raised base-ring; inside it, one small, off-center, incised circle.
