The image shows an old, terracotta oil lamp. The lamp is mostly circular with a slight protrusion on one end that forms the nozzle, and it has a handle on the opposite side for easy handling. The lamp’s body has a large central hole meant to hold the oil, surrounded by circular ridges, potentially for functional or decorative purposes. Within the central area, there is a raised relief design featuring what appears to be a figure, possibly engaged in an activity or holding something, though the specifics are not clearly discernible due to the wear over time. There is a hole in the center of the design, likely for the wick. The surface of the lamp has a patina indicative of age and use, with areas of discoloration from oxidation. The piece has two additional holes to the right of the wick hole, the purpose of which is not immediately clear from the image; these could be for ventilation or to secure a cover or attachment. The entire object has an ancient and utilitarian appearance, suggesting it might have been a common household item in a past culture.
