6th-7th century AD. A bronze lamp, rounded body, with shoulders sloping inwards to the low filling-hole rim, tapering nozzle with rounded tip, no handle, concave base. Cf. Bailey, D. M., Catalogue of the Lamps in the British Museum III, BM, 1988, Q3342, for similar example. 355 grams, 11.5cm (4 1/2"). From a private collection formed in the Netherlands; previously in a European collection formed prior to 1980. These provincial lamps, realised in the Greek-speaking Eastern part of the Roman Empire, were with all probability made in Anemurium (where a workshop was actively working) or on the Cilician shore, destined to the illumination of houses and cemeteries.
