Bird-shaped oil lamp late 12th-early 13th century The birdheaded handle of this lamp was cast separately from its threespouted body. Oil was poured into the lamp through the large opening, once covered with a lid, as indicated by the surviving hinge. A tab on the base and keyholes on the body demonstrate that the lamp could either rest on a stand or hang from a chain. The inscription conveys good wishes, and the absence of a dedication suggests that the piece was made for the market rather than as a private commission.. Bird-shaped oil lamp 454047
