Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, clay lamp with a distinctive three-nozzle design. The lamp is made of clay and has a light brown color with darker brown and black patches. It has a rounded base and three curved nozzles that are connected at the center. The nozzles are wavy and irregularly shaped, with the left nozzle being slightly larger than the other two. The lamp appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and use. The background of the image is a gradient of gray and white, with a shadow cast by the lamp on the right side. The artist and title of the piece is "Lamp".
