Oil Lamp Lid, Sea Shell, c. 1st-3rd Cent
Copper alloy; 28mm/13.1gm
Con/ As Cast; near perfect green patina; Scarce in this condition.
Seller's Note/ This charming lamp lid in the shape of a sea shell (or a bi-valve, if you care to be pedantic, for God's sake) would have been attached to a small bronze oil-burning lamp via the hole seen in the photos. Sheri says this would make a swell pendant for anyone who loves the sea!
