Lamp of Alhazred

Description

The lamp of Alhazred was unusual in its appearance. It was meant for burning oil, and seemed to be of gold. It had the shape of a small oblong pot, with a handle curved up from one side, and a spout for wick and flame on the other. Many curious drawings decorated it, together with letters and pictures arranged into words in a language unfamiliar.
— August Derleth and H.P. Lovecraft, The Lamp of Alhazred.

An enchanted oil-burning lamp. When lit, the lamp gives forth vapors that send the minds of those who inhale them into ecstasies of vision. These revelations are of the strange and weird landscapes of Mythos places and dimensions, and the ways of the entities there. If this lamp were actually used by Al-Hazred, the author of the Al Azif, some of the breadth of his knowledge would be explained.

It is believed that the lamp is unique, however its whereabouts today is unknown.
