I’m sure this is a weird mistranslation by google, but the Louvre calls this a potato lamp and you know what? I see it. 

[ID: A small terracotta lamp, without wick or flame; it is darkened on one side where the flame formerly burnt. In shape, color, and texture, it does look exactly like a potato. Second image is an animated image from the Portal 2 video game, showing a potato with some technology attached; it is captioned “Oh, hi. How are you holding up? Because I’m a potato.”]

Yes, that actually did happen. I managed to defeat Zane in three turns using Magic Cylinder and Ancient Lamp without losing any life points.
