AL7 A large Roman red slipped oil lamp with a chariot modelled on the discus, 2nd Century A.D. : £ 285 NEW!

A large Roman red slipped oil lamp with round nozzle and ring handle, a bare-chested man in a chariot being drawn by two griffins modelled on the discus, a rectangular segmented pattern on the shoulder. Lamp measures 118 mm/4.6 ins. in length. The slip worn, particularly on the shoulder and the nozzle, and some brown encrustation on the underside, but overall a nice example, c. 2nd Century A.D.
Previously in a UK academic collection and acquired between 1980 and 1985.

A red-brown Islamic oil lamp, with a ridged body that slopes upwards towards the aperture, with a sharply angled loop handle extending from the shoulder to the lip. Lamp measures 83 mm/3.3 ins. in length. An ancient chip to the base, otherwise condition good, c. 7th Century A.D.
A nice example of the type.
