EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze oil lamp, dating back to the 1st century AD, is a remarkable testament to the artistic craftsmanship of ancient Rome. Standing at a height of 12.4 cm, it showcases an exquisite blend of functionality and aesthetics. The lamp takes on the form of an African head, with intricate details that highlight the rich cultural diversity present in Roman society. Its ring handle and high fanning palmette thumbrest add elegance to its design, while the stem foot gracefully flares out to support its wide desk base. As you gaze upon this ornamental piece, you can't help but marvel at its anthropomorphic qualities. The lifelike features captured in metalwork transport you back in time, allowing you to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such a masterpiece. This artifact serves not only as a functional object but also as a decorative item that adds charm and sophistication to any space it graces. With its ornate decoration and meticulous attention to detail, this statuette-like sculpture truly embodies the essence of Roman art. Now preserved within a private collection, this photograph captures every nuance and intricacy of this ancient treasure for all admirers of fine art to enjoy.
