The Barone Terracotta Lamp
A winged seated figure fills a circular lamp surrounded by small objects, birds and symbolic attributes. A patterned rim encircles the scene above its projecting lower end. Elworthy identifies Figure 184 as a terracotta lamp from Signor Barone’s collection, reproduced after the Bullettino Archeologico Napoletano. His discussion compares its attributes with related moulds and plaques, but this particular image is the lamp.
