Metropolitan Museum of Art 63.185.1 Description An account of the resource A pair of dolphins use their tails to support the handle’s rectangular plaque. Their heads would have been attached to a now-lost base. Round flat hanging lamps, or polycandela, were lit by oil-filled glass vessels hung from the round holes in their designs. Paul the Silentiary in 563 described the effect of huge hanging lamps that lit the great church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople: “Thus is everything clothed in beauty…no words are sufficient to describe the illumination in the evening: you might say that some nocturnal sun filled the majestic church with light.” IIIF Item Metadata UUID 4b33882d-563a-4811-977e-33108012d04b https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/haaimagehosting/original/5d59a7307e09ee8e568b05bdf33a0641.jpg 6f90ea6a14688a193bcc3abcbc64117f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Probably Tunisia, c. 5th century b. 14.6 x 8.3 cm, molded earthenware c. Metropolitan Museum of Art 27.94.30 Description An account of the resource Small earthenware lamps, made from double molds, were the most commonly used source of light in North Africa during the early Byzantine period. A wick produced from plant fiber or linen fabric was placed in a reservoir filled with oil, generally castor or sesame oil, and illuminated. The disc of this lamp depicts the standing figure of Christ holding a cross-staff and treading underfoot the lion, the dragon, the asp, and the basilisk. He is nimbed and flanked by flying angels. The image is enclosed by a broad rim decorated with circles enclosing the christogram (monogram for Christ’s name), foliated lozenges, and chevrons. Religious images used as decoration were thought to offer protection for the lamp’s owner.

Early Byzantine c. 602-610 (stamps of Phocas) b. 21.2 cm, silver c. Dumbarton Oaks BZ.1938.83 Description An account of the resource Excavated in Antioch in a fragmentary state and restored, this lampstand or candlestick rests upon three feet, which support a flaring base of petal-shaped aprons. Above, a baluster topped with a disk ends with a four-sided spike known as a pricket. This would have fit into the four-sided sleeve in the base of a metal oil-lamp, known from numerous extant examples in bronze. Alternatively, it might have been used to stabilize a candle, a source of domestic lighting just coming into use in seventh-century Byzantium. Comfortably grasped about the baluster and carried, the stand is portable and would have allowed the source of light to be moved easily from place to place. Its size suggests that it was meant to be placed on a table or in a niche. Impressed on the underside of the base are traces of five control stamps, with which many Byzantine silver objects were marked between the late-fifth and mid-seventh centuries. This system of stamps may have been reserved for objects of high silver content, as the state attempted to control the trade of precious metals, or, the state may have mass-produced these objects in imperial workshops, stamping them during production to authorize their sale. Typically applied before an object was fully finished, stamps often provide the only information regarding date and place of origin. One of the stamps on this stand bears a partial inscription referring to the city of Antioch; a more complete inscription designating the city also appears on a similarly-stamped silver lamp in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. Thus, this stand was likely created in Antioch during the reign of Emperor Phocas (602-610), whose partial monogram appears beside one of the control stamps. Additionally, two very similar stands are now in the British Museum and the Byzantine Museum in Athens, dated to the mid-sixth and early seventh centuries, respectively, which were stamped in Constantinople. The close resemblance in size, shape and weight among these three objects, despite their different sites of manufacture, suggests some form of standardized, state-controlled production. - S.
