Descriptif du lot

This lamp shows another variation on the theme of lot 322. Again the form is principally one known from Roman Syria (Kordmahini, Helen A.: Glass from the Bazargan Collection, Tehran, 1994, p.50, an example in brownish glass), but it has the addition of handles converting it into a lamp.
