Lamp, 1st century B.C.-4th century A.D. Additional Info: The heart-shaped, smiling face of a Black African on this mold-made lamp fixes its gaze at the viewer. The figure¡¦s eyes are deeply indented, giving the face depth and intensity of expression, and the eyebrows are turned down and inward. The nose has a small bridge, but flares out with wide nostrils, while the protruding ears mark the lamp¡¦s broadest extent. At the top of the head, six rows of stamped dots indicate curly hair.
