Title: | Lamp | |
Category: | Bronze | |
Description: | A lamp with handle decoration in form of Greek cross. The lamp before cleaning seems practically complete; two corners are missing from the arms of the cross. The ball-shaped body has a small raised base, and a raised ring round the filling hole. The nozzle is long, the wick-hole finished with a flat band, as on the Roman lamps of type XXI. The handle, round in section, rises from the back of the body in a double loop ending against the back of the cross. Fastened by corrosion against the front of the cross is the small shell-shaped lid, which when closed covered the filling hole. | |
