LAMPS.
32 7
2521. LAMP, with two mouths, and chains attached for suspension. At the back is an arch
with plain columns, under which is a figure of Cybelfe (?) in a chariot drawn by two lions ; she
wears a modius, long girt chiton and himation, and holds a phiale (?) in r. hand and distaff (?)
in 1. Ht. 6 in. Very rude.
2522. LAMP, withtwo spouts, and atthe other end a hinge for a handle (now lost) ; it is moulded
in the form of a bearded head, the hair being very conventionally treated. Length 4 in.
Towneley Coll.
2523. LAMP, in the form of a grotesque head ; the hole for tilling adjoins the handle, above
which is a leaf to support the thumb while holding it ; two snakes pass from the handle either
side over the top of the head. Length 5f in. Payne Knight Coll.
2524. LAMP, with three burners, alternating with three spouts. Below each spout is a figure
of a woman in relief, moving to 1., wearing long chiton and apoptygma ; the first carries a knife
in r. hand and a hare in 1. ; the second, a patera in r. hand and a situla in 1. ; the third, a
wreath in r. hand and a bird (?) in 1. In the centre underneath is a rosette, on which is a head of
Pan or a youthful Satvr in relief, with twisted horns and flowing locks. I11 the centre of the lamp
is a circular moulded plinth round which are pendants or buds, of which only six remain. On
the top of this is a figure of Eros or Ganymede, standing on 1. leg, holding up a prochods in r. hand
from which he is about to pour into a patcra held in 1. His wings are spread, and he has long
hair and an anklet on 1. leg. On his head is a sort of cap, from which rises a swan’s head and
neck forming a hook to suspend the lamp. Total height, 1 if in. ; ht. of Eros, 6j in. ; diam. of
Iamp, 5 in. Found near Naples. Payne Knight Coll. (liv. 25) ; obtained by him from Sir W.
Hamilton. The type of figure suggests Ganymede, but he would not naturally be winged ; the
swan’s head and the wings also recall in a measure the composition of Ganymede carried off by
the eagle (cf. No. 726).
2525. LAMP. On the spout is a palmette pattern in low relief, and on the sides of it floral
patterns which have been inlaid in enamel; on each side of the beginning of the spout is a
rosette. The top is grooved, and over the hole for filling is a cover with knob, from which
a chain extends to the handle. The handle is bent back into a circle, ornamented with a calyx ;
above is a large crescent, on which is the figure of an eagle, nearly in the round, standing 011 a
cable-moulding. Length 8 in. Ht. 5 j in. Hamilton Coll. 24.
2526. LAMP, in the form of a Seilenos reclining. He isseated on an askos of skin, below which
is a plinth ; his head rests against the calyx of a large flower, which forms a spout; below it is
a handle ; in the plinth is a large hole. The Seilenos wears a myrtle-wreath and sandals, and
has a shaggy skin and protruding stomach ; he holds the mouth of the askos between his legs,
which forms the mouthof the lamp. Ht. 3-f in. Towneley Coll. Reinach, Repertoire, ii. p. 60,
No. 2.
2527. LAMP, in the form of a squatting Seilenos, bald, holding a crater btfore him in both
hands, the mouth of which forms the hole for filling ; his feet are placed on either side of the
spout. Handle at back with flat top. Length 4f in. Corfu, 1846.
2528. LAMP, in the form of a head of Pan, with long goat’s horns and long bearcl which extends
along either side of the spout ; on the top of the head are the hole for filling and a hinge to
which a cover has been attached ; on the spout and on either side of the head are nngs for
chains. Ht. 4 in. Length 6j- in. Payne Knight Coll.
2529. LAMP, in the form of a grotesque head. Hooked nose, pierced ; high cheeks and flat
forehead ; the ears are each pierced twice. On each side of the head is a long curly lock of
hair, and scanty hairs on the top. The mouth is open, showing the teeth, and the eyes h ive
been inlaid : round the neck is a necklace. Ht. 3) in. Tayne Knight Coll. Goud patina.
Hole in top of hcad ; on thc base, acanthus pattern.
