With a lug handle and oval elongated body, two central filling-holes flanking the image of prophet Daniel enclosed within a decorative shallow border; two thin concentric circles on the base, possibly a blurred potter’s mark to the middle. 196 grams, 14.5 cm
From the collection of the French archaeologist Suzanne Gozlan, 1921-2022.
The lamp belongs to the type Atlante X or Hayes II A. The so-called Christian lamps in Terra Sigillata Africana have been classified by Hayes into two major types, I and II. He has distinguished two classes in his type II, according to geographic place of manufacture or origin. Subtype II A group lamps from central Tunisia are characterised by a fine clay, glossy light orange slip, and carefully executed decoration using a great number of neatly drawn shoulder motives.
