Wall lamp with a ram's head.
Gilded copper
Italy
End of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century.
17 x 13 cm, approx. 7 cm
Weight 600 g
Good condition; gilding wear on the head is consistent with the period and with frequent handling.
The head features a small sealed cavity at the top, perhaps to hold liquids (an esoteric object?).
At the top of the base there is a hole for wall mounting.
Provenance: from an old private collection, Florence.
