330. Lot consisting of ancient Roman opal and three modern reproductions of ancient opals

A: The oil lamp is made from dense brown clay, with white inclusions and silvery mica, showing signs of burning. The decoration is in two registers on the upper surface around the feeding opening: the first register is made up of circular formations in relief between two ridges, followed by the second register consisting of a suite of short, vertical ridges between two horizontal ones. On the lower surface, it has two groups of three ridges on either side of the circular base. It is dated in the Roman era, AD. B: The small-sized oil lamp has dark brown dough, with white inclusions and mica. It has a granular look and its engobe is dark brown. It is a copy of a Roman-era bronze specimen. Modern era dating. C/D: The oil lamps are fragmentary, made in an unusual way. The shape is that of an oil lamp, made from a soft material, filled with a binder similar to a Roman-era mortar, with many brown inclusions, in which an iron bar was fixed inside. The circular base has ridges, and the upper surface is decorated with the relief scene of the Greek mythology "Leda and the Swan". They seem to have a decorative function. Modern era dating.
