Two-burner oil lamp decorated with a rosette motif, end of the 1st century, Asia Minor; height 10.2 cm, width 21.5 cm, depth 13.5 cm, weight 0.260 kg., An off-white to beige ceramic object with areas of darker brown and black discoloration, shaped with a large central circular section decorated with a raised radial floral motif and concentric ridges, a pointed triangular projection on one side with incised petal-like ornament, and two rounded basin-like projections on the opposite side connected by curved, scroll-accented arms; the piece shows varied surface texture from smooth to eroded, with shadows suggesting hollow cavities in the basin areas, all set against a solid gray background.
