Oil lamp with a vegvisir (Icelandic for sign post or wayfinder). A vegvisir is an Icelandic magical stave intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather.

Pottery lamps functioned by adding oil through the central hole, and burning a wick placed into the nozzle area. Wicks were commonly made from pieces of linen, but could also be made from flax or papyrus.
