lamp
- Object description
- Mouldmade lamp; deep, circular body with a short rounded nozzle. A ring-handle with two impressed grooves as decoration, is placed at the rear. The wide shoulder is rounded, separated from the discus by an inward-sloping moulded rim. The shoulder has an impressed decoration depending from the rim that shows stylised ivy leaves. The deep-sunk discus is decorated, has two filling-holes and an air-hole is pierced at the edge of the discus. The scene on the discus shows a bust of Jupiter to front, behind an eagle, standing with spread wings on a thunderbolt. The eagle looks to left and a notched sceptre is placed by Jupiter’s left shoulder. The lamp stands on a slightly raised base, in the centre of which is a plain planta pedis. Red clay covered with finger marked, reddish-brown slip.
