Transitional Lamp - about 2,000 years old.

This is another kind of the transitional lamp, about 2,000 years old. Like the earlier lamp, it is round and flat. The shoulders have been trimmed with an instrument and the ornamentation of crisscrossed lines and volutes at the snout is not very clear. There are traces of soot at the snout. The base is roughly made with a slightly raised circular ridge and a seven-leaved rosette at the centre.
