Lamp, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: Moldmade. Much powdery gold mica. Right and left sides molded separately and joined; the bottom is a separate slab. Ring handle on top for transport. The lantern has the shape of a male head wearing a conical cap (Phrygian[?]) with thirteen applied rosettes in relief (seven on the left side, six on the right); a wide opening in the lower back makes it possible to place a lit lamp on the floor of the lantern; nine holes would let out light: in the eyes, the ears, the nostrils, the cheeks, and the mouth.
