Asset Overview

A pottery lamp privately owned by one of the volunteers. Round body, concave base, raised rim. Broken humped nozzle and broken side lug which was probably pierced. Found on the beach near the old town of Paphos, Cyprus. Dating to perhaps 3rd or 2nd century BC. Similarities to a "Vessberg Type 3" lamp held by the British Museum. Opinions or alternatives welcomed!
