The Origins of Three Meroitic Bronze Oil Lamps in the Museum of Fine Arts, BostonSakoutis, Stephanie Joan 05 June 2009 (has links)
This thesis discusses three bronze oil lamps found in the ancient city of Meroë, in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Scholars have considered the lamps to be imported from Hellenistic Egypt, but careful examination has revealed that the lamps were not imported. The lamps were locally made in Meroë; the materials and technology needed to create bronze lamps were available to Meroitic craftsmen.
