This lamp relates closely to a group of bronze lamps found at the site of the Elvira mosque, in present day Atarfe, in Grenada which was abandoned about AH 401/1010 AD. An almost identical lamp found at Elvira is in the Museo Cerralbo and is published in Gómez-Moreno, M.: Ars Hispaniae, Historia Universal del Arte Hispánico, Madrid, 1951, vol.III, pp.328 and 335, fig. 392b. Our lamp almost certainly dates from the same period.
