Summary

Description

Lamp, oil. The object is a bronze lamp with circular shaped oil chamber. There is a round hole in the base and there is a series of small holes bordering the large fluted filling hole. There are similar sized holes leading to a long hollow nozzle, these holes are likely decorative. The handle is a vertical loop design with a horizontal groove. The lamp is modified with a saw marks on one side of the handle. Some of the holes on the top of the lamp are broken and there cracks that extend down the side of the vessel. The bronze has oxidised and there are greenish rivets on the either side of the body of the lamp. 

Part of the Archaeology collection.
