Description: Moldmade. Lamp composed of three evenly spaced phalluses interspersed with three testicles so that each phallus seen separately gives the impression of being complete. Large central filling-hole surrounded by a raised ring with an outer ridge decorated with a row of small dotted circles; incised markings of pubic hair around filling-hole. Each phallus tip is marked off by a notched ridge. Raised flat-topped base-ring with a median groove and a small circle in center.
