Sudbury Roman lamp find

[Caballo]

May have been previously posted (though I can't find it) - but new pics of the Roman lamp found by a metal detector in Sudbury

Restored (though without the translucent horn panels)


And video of the find on the day of find

And finally a modern replica of the similar Pompeii find from Holger Ratsdorf http://www.hr-replikate.de/katalog/en/index.html

Now on display at the Ipswich Museum!

Had been repaired in antiquity - different feet applied. Although some portions of these have been found in Britain, this is the most complete yet!

Rvfilia has one made by Steve Wagstaff which works beautifully! (only £50 too!) I'd suggest that parchment was used rather than horn.

As it has been metal deterctored (is that a word??), is there anything known about the context it was found in? The date of the site, known occupation time frames etc?
