16. (24258) Candelabrum 



Base three-legged, with openwork ornament. Two sections of the shaft 

 are pentagonal and are ornamented with incised rosettes and other patterns. 

 The remainder of the shaft is cylindrical and horizontally corrugated. The 

 capital is quasi-Corinthian. From its top rises the candle holder, shaped some- 

 what like a flower on its stem. On the exterior of the holder are incised patterns; 

 within is an upright spike for a candle.

17. (24220) Lamp 



The shallow, cylindrical receptacle for oil is ornamented on the edge with 

 bead pattern and below that, with a tongue pattern. There are three equidis- 

 tant nozzles for wicks and a mask of Silenus, the hollow space behind which 

 does not communicate with the receptacle. In the center rises a quasi-Doric 

 column surmounted by a siren with folded wings. Above her head is a ring, 

 by which the lamp could be carried.
