Fresco with a lamp in a wreath
Copy of a fresco from a tomb. The fresco used to cover the long side of the tomb. Against a background of dark ochre there is a two-nozzle oil-lamp in a wreath. The symbolism of the scene is not certain, as it appears in both Christian and ethnic tombs. The scene is framed by red strip.
