ANCIENT OIL LAMPS III: Early Saucer Lamps, Early Islamic Lamps, Lamp molds, etc. (Dimensions are in mm.) The Emeritus collection of ancient lamps is especially complete with examples of almost all known types and forms of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Holy Land lamps. As such it serves as a valuable reference of ancient lamps and an excellent opportunity for collectors of ancient lamps to add missing types to their own collections.
