Lot 2812
Another Quality Erotic Roman Lamp. Roman Tunisia, 1st-2nd century AD. This lamp also of discus type, but with grooved ring handle, and short ovate nozzel. The scene here a variant on the preceding lamp. The man and the woman share close eye to eye contact, as he is about slip between her legs. The bed also different here -- more like a low divan, with raised board at the head, and very short turned legs. Base of the lamp is impressed with uncertain maker's mark. Lamp intact and nearly pristine, with only minor weathering to the red and brown slip. The art large and good, if a bit softly molded. Length: 4-3/8". Again, another fine example.
Estimated Value $650 - 750.
