This image shows an ancient terracotta lamp. The lamp is primarily of a reddish-brown color consistent with the natural color of fired clay. It is round with a slightly recessed center where the image of a figure is portrayed in relief. This central embossed figure appears to be a man wearing a crested helmet and short clothing, typical of ancient warriors or gladiators, kneeling on one knee while holding a round shield in the left hand and possibly a sword or dagger in the right hand. There are two visible holes: one in the central part could have been used for pouring the oil and another one on the edge, probably used for the wick. The edges of the lamp feature a raised, concentric circle design, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. A part of the rim shows signs of damage or wear. The artifact carries a historical ambience, suggesting its use in a period that appreciated such decorative and functional items.
