This object is carved from local stone and shows four faces above a min column (three human, one animal). It is thought to be a lamp as there are traces of burning around the inside of the bowl. The lamp was found at Kenilworth Castle in the late 19th century, and came to the museum through the Warwickshire Natural History and Archaeology Society.
