Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze lamp. The lamp has a circular base with a small lip around the edge. A short, narrow stem rises from the base, with two raised rings around it. The stem flares out slightly at the top. The top of the lamp is a wide, shallow bowl with a slightly raised rim. The entire lamp is made of bronze and has a dark brown patina with green and black spots. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow falls to the right of the lamp.
