Help needed with authenticity and attribution.

(1/1)

Philoromaos:
Hi all. I just bought this lamp and while I'm pretty sure it's authentic and trust the dealer,  I have no real knowledge of oil lamps. Also if anyone can could they provide and attribution for the lamp, all I was told was that it was 5th - 6th century Roman Syria. Any help would be much apprieciated. Thanks Adrian

Philoromaos:
More pics...

Philoromaos:
No opinions on this one then?

Strobilus:
There is no reason to doubt that the lamp is authentic and the "5th - 6th century Roman Syria" attribution given by the dealer is correct. It would be difficult to give a more precise attribution without context.

Philoromaos:
Thanks for your help. You've put my mind at rest now. I'm always a little doubtfull anout these no matter where it came from.

Cheers Adrian
