- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. late 2nd to early 4th century CE. A superb bronze oil lamp of a humongous size that was cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) technique. The circular vessel rests upon a flared foot and has a shallow oil basin surrounded by a gaping fill hole, raised rings around the shoulder and interior rim, a pair of rosettes protruding from the neck base, and a narrow wick spout flanked with a pair of curved volutes. The back of the lamp suggests it once boasted an intricate handle with a pair of protruding nodules, perhaps of a similar floral fashion as the rosettes, and the broad fill hole suggests it was at one time covered by a form-fitting lid. Layers of mottled green and brown patina cover all surfaces of this sizable lamp. Size: 8.8" L x 6.375" W (22.4 cm x 16.2 cm); 8.6" H (21.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private Zaveloff collection, Lakewood, New Jersey, USA, acquired from Venus Gallery, Israel, in 2002
