Black and white photo of oil lamp. The lamp is made of glass. The bowl of the lamp is round and wide with a geometric pattern etched into it. The stem of the lamp is twisted. There is a handle on the side of the base. The base is oval shaped and flat. There are cracks in the base of the lamp. The base of the stem appears to be a frog or toad. The background is plain and light-colored. The image shows the object on a surface, casting a shadow to the left.
