ID for Heavy Bronze Oil Lamp, please

(1/1)

Mayadigger:
Ave!

Copper alloy; 12cm x 35mm/380gm or 14oz!

As noted above, this lamp is stout and very heavy, nearly one pound. As seen in the first photo,
there are three raised areas about the rim. In the center, something has been broken off.

HELP!

Strobilus2:
Your lamp is of a type commonly found in the Balkans region, 2nd-3rd century AD. The scar in the centre is where a suspension-lug was once fitted.

Another version of the type is shown here:
