Discus Iconography: Plain discus. Description: Moldmade. Biconical body. Broad shoulder with seven varied evenly spaced floral patterns. Discus with a prominent ring, separated from the central filling-hole by a thinner inner ring. Long beveled nozzle with a triangular tip with burn marks; the flat space between the tip and the discus has a heart-shaped pattern present on several Delos lamps. The underside of the nozzle is bulging down to practically the same level as the base-ring. Slightly concave base-ring; inside, small central raised ring with raised dot.
