An excellent redware lamp with two small filling holes and a long nozzle, the tondo decorated with a stylized dolphin in the center with a large round eye, open beak, pointed dorsal fin, and extended tail fins. The edge is decorated with a curving motif of alternating olive branches and tiled squares.
Roman redware from North Africa, also known as African Red Slip, thrived from the 1st - 5th centuries CE. It was the most widely distributed representative of the sigillata tradition in the late-Roman period, and occasional imports have been found as far afield as Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries.
