Lot 1036:
BRONZE ARAB-BYZANTINE ITEM
Byzantine, c. 5th - 10th century AD.
Arab-Byzantine oil lamp filler or cosmetic mortar with hemispherical body, deep rounded bowl with three feet, from which extends a long channelled spout, a flat short handle and smaller lateral lugs.
Dimensions: 82 x 52 mm. Intact and complete, minor deposits. Objects like this, with a small rounded bowl, flanged handles and a long channelled spout, have been speculated to be many different things, from oil lamps to baby feeders. It seems most likely, however, that the hemispherical body was used for as a mortar for crushing cosmetic materials, which would then have been poured down the spout into small flasks, or as a oil lamp filler, the terracotta lamp would be filled with oil through the pouring hole.
