Description: | Pottery 'shell' form oil lamp, from Egyptian tomb, Romano-Egyptian, c.1st century BC. This lamp is basically a saucer with a pronounced lip which has been contorted to form a long slender wick channel spout to support the wick, thus resembling the natural form offered by a shell, from whence this lamp form derives. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | oil lamp | Temporal: | 100-1BCE | Source: | Science Museum | Identifier: | 1953-476/2 | Go to resource |
