Ð A.D. 400 %Z Essential for lighting indoors, this clay (terra cotta) lamp was made in a mold, of a ÔdiscusÕ (round) form. It is decorated with the symbol of an urn, perhaps a trophy or perhaps a sign of mourning. The black surface is unusual, and if not related to a funeral ritual, may have been an attempt to appear as a more expensive metal lamp. %= 2015-03-12T20:09:52Z %A Wright, Kathryn %T Shelf 2: Judaea Under Nero - Roman Discus Lamp %U http://hdl.handle.net/10898/3000
