Ca. 50-100 AD A beautiful bronze oil lamp with a sizeable central filling hole in the discus, a long nozzle and a low concave foot with concentric circles.During the Roman Empire, a lamp was originally called a ‘lychnus’ (from the Greek ‘??????’) with the oldest Roman lamps dating back to the third century BC. It is thought that the Romans took the idea for lamps from the Greek colonies of Southern Italy. During the Roman Empire, it became commonplace to use lamps in funeral ceremonies and for public purposes. Over time, the manufacture of lamps increased, and so did the variation in decoration, which depended mainly on the shape and size of the lamp. Common decorative themes depicted on the discus were entertainment scenes (such as gladiators in combat), common myths, and animals.For a comparison piece, see item number 18, p. 18 in Mele, N. M.

Lot 528
Ca. 2000-700 BC A bronze Master of Animals Sceptre comprised of a central tube terminating into a human head. Flanked by animals on either side, with curving haunches and tails below. It was probably used during religious rituals. The Master of Animals or Lord of Animals is a motif in ancient art showing a human between and grasping two confronted animals. It is very widespread in the art of the Ancient Near East. The figure is normally male, but not always, the animals may be realistic or fantastical, and the figure may have animal elements such as horns, or an animal's upper body. Unless he is shown with specific divine attributes, he is typically described as a hero. In Western Asiatic Art the motif is extremely common, and often highly stylized. In terms of its composition the Master of Animals motif compares with another very common motif in the art of the ancient Near East and Mediterranean, that of two confronted animals flanking and grazing on a Tree of Life.
