Extremely rare early type of pottery Oil lamp, Roman, 1st. century AD.
The lamp is of the Loeschcke Type IV and displays a scene from the the Education of Achilles by Chiron.
An awesome motif and an important lamp for the historically interested collector or scholar.
Size: 10,7 cm.
Condition: Choice for the rare type, looks completely intact, but it's uncleaned in places, which could hide a hairline, we're not certain, and it would be a shame to clean it entirely.
Provenance: From a Rheinland-Pfalz collection, 1970-1999.
