The shallow bowl is supported on a column in the form of a crouching bear holding a fruit. This rests inside a dish which originally would have had three animal shaped feet. It is covered in a thin, olive-green glaze. The lamp was fired upright in the kiln on its base on six large supports. A related example with a Wu dynasty date equivalent to AD 265 has been excavated from a tomb at Qingliangshan, Nanjing.
