Description: Wheelmade. Deep body broadening toward bottom; two grooves surround the lower part of the basin. Rounded circular rim sloping down to a large filling-hole. Squat short tubular and upturned nozzle with a rounded tip and flat-topped plate--a characteristic feature of some Hellenistic lamps that can occur also on Anatolian lamps of the third to fourth century A.D. Broad circular flat base.
