Large stone oil lamp. The piece is carved from stone, a half-circle in its top view. Surface is convex with slanted sides forming a shallow trough, a deep crease running lengthwise along the bottom from which stands a thick, angled rim. A groove for a wick sits at centre of rim. The opposite, curved, edge has a low lip to contain the lamp’s oil. The exterior bottom is rounded with a sharp point at middle. Hardened deposits remain on top and bottom surfaces. The lamp has been broken in two and repaired.

Stone carving of a woman. She is shown bending forward with a child wrapped in the amaut pouch on the back of her parka, and carrying a large stone cooking lamp in her hands, resting it on the ground in front of her. Her parka is fringed along the sides, and she wears high boots. The woman’s textured hair is plaited into two braids, her face broad, with wide eyes and mouth and a small nose. Disc number scratched on base appears to read E9 916.

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.
