Oud-Romeins Terracotta Olielamp
An Ancient Roman red ware terracotta oil lamp. The lamp features a concave moulded discus, a short canal nozzle and two filling holes. The discus is beautifully decorated with the depiction of bull, shown while reclining its head.
In Ancient Rome, the bull was a sacrificial victim, but also a symbol of regeneration. The bull might be referred to the worship of the Roman god Mithras. During the 2nd and 3rd centuries of the Roman Empire, Mithras was honoured as the patron of loyalty to the emperor. The most important Mithraic ceremony was the sacrifice of the bull.
Provenance: From the collection of Arno Jumpertz, Leverkusen, Germany, 1924-1984. Much of the collection was exhibited at Neus museum, 1985.
