- Mouldmade lamp; circular body with a slightly convex, sloping profile; short, rounded nozzle, flat on its upper surface. Pierced and grooved ring-handle at the rear, halfway down the back, pointed at the end. Flat, round base with incised base-ring and within it a concentric, circular groove. On the base ring there are three arrow-head, flanked by a small circle on each side, pointing to the centre of the base. They are incised in each 120° of the circle. Incised name in the middle of the base-ring: CHHIAN. The wide, slightly rounded shoulder is decorated with wine leaves and cluster and the concave discus is defined by two circular grooves. The discus has an asymmetrically placed filling-hole and decoration: two cupids standing at front, watching to right while the right one holding a huge cluster in his left hand. Orange-red clay and slip. Traces after use on nozzle.
