Roman lead lamp
A poorly finished, cast example with an incomplete sub-circular handle. There can be little doubt that this is a lamp rather than a lampholder, not only on the grounds of size or the width of the nozzle, but also because it would make a perfect match for the bronze hinged lamp-cover from Oberstimm.
