Very Fine Byzantine Bronze Oil Lamp w/ Cross

Item Details

Description

Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire, ca. 400 to 600 CE. This is a cast bronze oil lamp with a large Byzantine cross projecting from the handle. The lamp itself has a small, round, mouth, and a delicate, hinged handle. Some scholars have noted that bronze lamps, with their increased cost over pottery lamps, were probably a kind of heirloom, and were also probably reserved for the richest households. Bronze lamps, which have been theorized to remain in a family for at least three generations because of their expense before being recast could also have additions added to them -- like crosses or new lids -- to suit changing styles. This particular type of lamp proved popular and several production centers for the style arose; ultimately they were distributed widely throughout the Eastern Roman Empire, reaching Asia Minor, Morocco, and even Central Europe. Size: 5.6" L x 2.8" W x 4.5" H (14.2 cm x 7.1 cm x 11.4 cm).
