This is a well preserved early Byzantine bronze oil lamp featuring a small cross handle, c. 6th - 7th century A.D. The vessel is open with no decoration. Such lamps would have been used either in the hand or with an additional stand. The lack of chain and hanging loop means this lamp was not suspended. Provenance: from the collection of Llewellyn Phillips, formed in Egypt during the early part of the 20th century. The artefact is in very fine condition and measures 94mm long.
Price: £150.00
