Pottery Lamps from the Hellmuth Collection of Egyptian Antiquities
Original language description
The Náprstek Museum houses a small collection of fourteen pottery lamps originating from Egypt which belonged to Vladimír Hellmuth-Brauner (1910-1982) and Marta Hellmuthová (1917-1988), the former of whom served as the Czechoslovak embassy at Cairo. The collection included the so-called 'echinus lamp', 'dolphin lamp', other two lamps of Hellenistic origin, 'delta lamp', two 'frog lamps', three Coptic, and three early Islamic slipper lamps; one of them with metallic green glaze. This collection of lamps clearly represents an intentionally and professionally assembled low-end representative set illustrating the development of lighting equipment in Egypt spanning more than 1,000 years of ancient and early medieval history. While most likely acquired in Cairo, most of the included specimens apparently came from Middle Egypt including Fayum.
