Notes
This lamp consists of a cubic tank with no base, pierced on the side by a large hole with a wide mouth. The upper side is perforated in the form of a filter consisting of three triangular holes into which the oil is poured. The lamp is equipped with a ring-shaped handle facing upward. From the nozzle emerges a wick that is saturated with oil. This lamp was part of the daily rural household furniture, and was used to light homes.
