Lot 2250
Lamp with Bold Erotic Scene. Roman, 2nd century AD. Round lamp in creme-buff ware with thin red slip, almost pointed nozzle flanked by small scrolls, with petal border around discus. Tightly fitted into the discus a couple coupling on a bed, in what appears to be the "missionary" position. Lamp intact, showing only minor wear, with a little soot staining at nozzle. The molded details a little soft as usual, but quite graphic. Cf. BMC Q1230. Length: 3-3/8". A fine example.
Estimated Value $750 - 950.
