Lantern

Lantern decorated on the shoulder with reliefs depicting a pair of stylised V-shaped branches positioned between circles with beaded inner rings. Around the central hole and the channel and around the base of the handle are a series of raised dots. The geographical distribution of this type of artefact, produced in the Libyan area, is fairly extensive (central-western Mediterranean, Aegean-Anatolian area); “local” imitations are also frequent.
