Lamp, 2nd century Additional Info: Discus Iconography: Rosette with eight with a more or less cylindrical hollow body, front representing a small temple with a statue. It is surmounted by a large bowl with a flaring scalloped rim; the sides are decorated with a leaf decor in high relief, above and under a notched median ribbon continuing to the back, where its ends are tied together, surrounded by four leaves as on the front; unpierced bowl intended for burning incense. On each side of the bowl a lamp is attached on arm-shaped extended supports. The temple, standing on a distinct platform, consists of two cylindrical columns with bases and Corinthian(?) capitals, supporting a triangular pediment surmounted by palmettes at each of three corners; entablature and rafters have dentil decor. Small statue representing a female figure (Venus[?]) with long tresses; right arm lifted, holding a round object close to her head--a patera or mirror(?); her left hand holds an unidentifiable object; her garment, seeming to leave her nude to the waist, hangs behind her at her right side, covering her left leg only.
