Description
Bibliography

Part of a lamp. It was discovered in 1997 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in the Middle-Byzantine settlement south of ΝΜΑ Ι street.

The upper part of the lamp survives that has the form of an open cup, as well as part of the stand. This open cup held the oil and featured a pinched nozzle formed on the rim. The surviving stand is tubular and, as we know from similar examples, it would have been tall and possibly ended at a circular base. The cup’s inner surface as well as the exterior of the lamp has partially surviving green glazing.
