A TERRACOTTA OIL LAMP WITH 11 NOZZLES
Roman Period, 2nd-3rd century CE. 21 cm in diam. Decorated with a acorn and oak-leaf wreath. Inscribed in Latin on the underside: CAI OPPI RIIS, the initials of the famous central Italian potter’s name Caius Oppius Restitutus. Mended but in very good condition and very rare. For an exact parallel from the same mold but with different added basket handles see: Renete Rosenthal and Renee Sivan, “Ancient Lamps in the Schloessinger Collection”, Qedem 8, 1978, p. 51, no. 207.
