Description

Norm of illumination was the oil lamp

(Greek lampas "Torch","Lamp") in open shell form with bulb made of clay or metal for the wick made of werg, rush, royal candle stalks. Since about 610 BC the muzzle form has appeared. The lamp belonged to the mass-produced articles, so that already in the 5th century B. C. lamp makers and lamp sellers could be separate professions. The fuels were castor oil, olive press residues and rancid olive oil.

The body of this bronze oil lamp is decorated with palmettes, the handle also runs out in a palmette ornament. The winged horse Pegasus is pictured on the spout.
