Description

The standard of lighting was the oil lamp (Greek lampas "torch", "lamp")

in open bowl form with bulging spout made of clay or metal for the wick made of tow, rush marrow, candlesticks. Since about 610 B.C. the muzzle form appears. The lamp belonged to the mass-produced articles, so that already in the 5th century BC lamp makers and lamp vendors could be separate professions. Fuel was castor oil, olive press residues and rancid olive oil.

On the left and right side of the surface of this bronze oil lamp you can see an owl motif, below in ancient Greek letters the word for owl. Palmette ornaments are depicted at the burning hole and at the foot of the handle, and the neck of the handle also ends in a palmette ornament.

National Archaeological Museum Athens; original replica in size (11.7 cm x 7.6 cm, height with handle 5.5 cm) and condition (bronze).
