Byzantine inscribed pottery oil lamp

A moulded pottery oil lamp decorated with a pseudo-Greek inscription around the body and a stylised peacock's feather extending to the nozzle.

The inscription has not photographed well, but it should be possible to distinguish each letter with a bit of time and care.
