| Description | Beach cobble. Only one edge has a lip and the other three edges appear to be smoothed. In its present shape it is unlikely that this could be used for a lamp. It thus would appear that this is a broken lamp fragment which was reused for another purpose. The bottom of the lamp is flat and appears unaltered. Signs of burning are evident on the upper surfaces. |
