Lamp: Probably fake 'Roman Period' with copy of Burney relief. This item was recently auctioned by an antiquities dealer. Since auction winners are kept confidential, I do not know who currently owns it. To my knowledge it has not been tested to verify age. If it is really Roman period, as it purports to be, it is most interesting indeed, since it would show that either the Burney relief (see above) was known much later than we would have supposed, or that both follow a common iconographic model with surprising exactness. If this is the case, it makes it even less likely that either is intended to represent Lilith. However, while awaiting any significant test on the piece's antiquity, I am inclined to strongly suspect that it is a modern forgery, explicitly based on Burney.
