The lamp is in the form of a an ass's head, to which a negroid dwarf clings just behind its ears. The dwarf is wearing a conical cap. On the ass's forehead is a large rosette, the input for the oil, and from this runs an ivy wreath in front of its ears. In its mouth it holds a dish, the opening for the wick.
