Description: The keyhole-shaped lamp showcases intricate scrolling on either side of its spout, which arches away to form a fleur-de-lis shape that complements the spout's design. A leaf-shaped handle supports one of the three hanging chains, while the other two attach to the forward part of the lamp along the upper edges between the fill hole and the spout. The three chains converge above the fill hole, with a single length of chain extending to hang the entire object from its circular base, which is formed by a metal circle located beneath the well. This freestanding object measures 12.3 cm in height, 4.5 cm in width, and 7.5 cm in length. Date: 400-600 CE Measurements (cm): Height: 12.3 Width: 4.5 Length: 7.5 References: Meyers, Eric M., et al.
