Inspired by my mom's spontaneous garden decorations - an old oil lamp overgrown with honeysuckle. Painted on a piece of sea pottery, will make it a pendant.

I am having Feels about ceramics and need to make it everyone’s problem. What if, a very popular shape for oil lamps in Númenor is a winged ship? It can range from the simple, almost crude clay lamp with wings etched in the sides and the flame burning from the ‘prow’ of the ship, to intricately painted and elaborate hanging lamps with outstretched wings where a flame burns from the top of the mast. A popular addition to this motif is a bird perched somewhere on the ship

Oil lamp in shape of a greek warship, end of the 5th cent. BC
The oil lamp with the inscription ΙΕΡΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΑΘΗΝΑΣ (Sanctuary of Athena) was discovered inside the Erechtheion, Acropolis. Its form is linked to the celebration of the Panathenaia and the worship of Athena Polias, whose wooden cultic statue (xoanon) was kept in the eastern part of the Erechtheion.
During the last day of the celebration, the Athenians offered to the xoanon a new peplos, which, after the victory at Salamis, was transported hung like a sail on the mast of a warship -most possibly on one of the victorious triremes of the naval battle– which moved on wheels. The lamp possibly reproduces the features of this ship.

I really like this oil lamp. (adds note to the already-too-long "When There's Some Money To Spare" list)
