A RARE SMALL BRONZE FIGURAL LAMP
WESTERN HAN DYNASTY (206 BC-AD 8)
The base of the lamp is cast as a figure with an almost beak-like mouth, prominent eyes and hair drawn back into a point on the back of the head, shown kneeling on a footed plinth. His left hand rests on his knee and his extended right hand holds the stem of the lamp, which is surmounted by a shallow circular tray that would have held the wick.
5 ½ in. (14 cm.) high
