FT105 Roman oil lam in brass

Description

Made after roman artefacts found in Pompei, this oil lamp is made of a brass structure, closed by pig skin. The holes allow a better combustion. The brass cover may be lifted a bit, to allow the flame to be brighter. The handle is linked to the lamp trough a nice brass chain.

Height 22cm, diameter 13cm. Brass and pig skin.
