• 标题: Lamp
• 创作者: Unknown
• 日期: Eastern Turkey, Kutahya, 18th century
• 创作地点: Turkey, Kutahya
• 实际尺寸: h16 cm
• provenance: Acquired by Calouste Gulbenkian through Howard Carter, Cairo, March 23th, 1929.
• description: The shape of this small lamp, which may have been commissioned for private use, is different to that of mosque lamps, but was also produced in Kutahya and uses the same range of colours as the bowl decorated with Christian symbols (also shown in this section). The decoration, set in horizontal sections, consists of pierced star-shaped motifs that alternate with floral motifs in blue on a white ground. The faces of angels in half palmettes, surmounted by a cross, can be seen on the handle and rim.Most lamps from this period were made of metal and acted as prototypes for the few existing ceramic lamps. They normally have three handles for suspension chains and are larger than this piece.
• 类型: Ceramic
