Model stone oil lamp. Lamp (part a) is triangular in shape, concave on top surface, with intersecting ridges on the base that come to a point at centre. Bone wick (part b) is wide and slightly curved, carved with a series of regularly spaced grooves at top. Wood posts attach it to holes along the lamp's long edge. The small stone pot (part c) is rectangular, with a twisted, rigid sinew rope tied though holes at each corner. Rope fits into ridges carved into one end of the bone pot holder (part d), which bends in the centre and sits in a hole on the lamp’s edge. Lamp rests on a triangular stone stand (part e) with a raised ring at centre. Three wooden posts (part f, g, h) support the lamp above the stand.
