About this work
Tin oil lamp. On the bell-shaped foot stands a short stem with a shallow nodus and profiled lines. Above this a wide, circular reservoir, the top of which is slightly concave and contains two openings. The largest opening is in the center and can be closed with a lid, crowned by a seated horse. The lid is connected to the oil lamp via a single-leaf hinge and ends in a round ring.
