An ancient Roman, terracotta, oil lamp, featuring a decorated concave discuss and an angular, volute nozzle. The discuss depicts a gentle scene between a stag and a seated woman. The stag has turned his antlered head towards the female, their gaze locked. Considering the subject matter; a stag and a superior female, the scene might depict the myth of Diana and Actaeon. Surrounding the discus are two concentric, incised circles. The lamp’s two, large volutes are placed between the discuss and nozzle. The reverse features a simple, recessed base ring. This lamp belongs to the Loeschcke type I B/C, characterised by the angle of the volutes to nozzle protrusions.
