This is my first attempt at Blender sculpture, modeled from images found on the web. The bronze lamp was found at Pompeii, and the workmanship is impressive. It appears to have been made in four parts: The main body upper lid, the lower basin, the handle, and the lion's head. It's possible the foot was made separately. All the seams are soldered, far as I can tell. The lamp is about five inches long and three tall.
The bull is the Cretan Bull, sire of the Minotaur, and apparently a popular motif. There are other lamps from the period which are clearly knock-offs and crudely made.
