    Our specimen is probably a votive temple lamp. From the beginning, temples were centres of inspiration for the production of lamps in a variety of designs. Temple lamps played an important role in temple rituals. Rich people used to give donations of both money and land to craftsmen, who could then devote much of their time to producing such pieces of art.
