DP -4S-21. Five joining fragments giving less than half of lower body. Max. pres. L. 0.06 m. Moldmade lamp with deep body, thin walls, ovoid shape in horizontal section.

Shape is probably that of Corinth IV.ii, type xxviii, 113-14, dating from the middle of the third to the early fifth century A.D. , but too little is preserved to date this specimen with assurance.
