A molded lamp recently found in Delos

During this summer excavation in Delos (Cyclades), many fragments of a molded lamp with an elaborate decoration (grapevine scroll motiv, palmette, Eros, head of a satyr, knotted handle) have been discovered in an early 1st century BC destruction layer. The fabric is very friable and breaks into small pieces. Does anyone have an idea of its potential origin ?

I had unfortunately no time to mend the sherds and to draw it, but will be done next Spring !
