The Origins of Three Meroitic Bronze Oil Lamps in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

This thesis discusses three bronze oil lamps found in the ancient city of Meroƫ, 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 Meroƫ; the materials and technology needed to create bronze lamps were available to Meroitic craftsmen.
