Castro de Alvarelhos, Alvarelhos, Trofa.
Ceramic. Very well-levigated fabric with few non-plastic inclusions of small calibre, comparable to Group 1a defined by Jannette Nolen, whose origin is considered by the author to be Baetica (NOLEN 1994, 38). It preserves a well-adhered slip of yellowish-orange colour, of very good quality (N45).
Lamp with discus and biconical body, featuring a circular infundibulum and pointed volutes on the rostrum. The volutes originate at the vertices of the triangular extension forming the tip of the rostrum, with one on each side. Narrow margus, separated from the discus by three mouldings. Broad, slightly concave discus, decorated with a dolphin facing right. Filling hole slightly off-centre.
