Roman Bronze Oil Lamp with Leaf Handle ca. 4th-5th century AD. Possibly from Roman Syria. The entire lamp beautifully cast, features a two-petal heart shaped leaf handle with the stem visible down the handle, a round body with small raised circular foot, and a large, flared nozzle. There is one filling hole at the center with a vent hole near the wick end. The end of the leaf has eroded away and parts of the surfaces of the lamp have been smoothed otherwise it is in fine condition. Wieclaw Collection. L. 5 3/4" (14.6 cm).
