A collection of five Roman Oil Lamps, varying in size and colour from light to darker reddish-brown tones. The scenes on the discus depict nude or erotic encounters, with varying degrees of preservation. One lamp preserves a particular clear scene of two figures engaged in sexual intercourse. The remaining lamps feature nude figures in erotic or standing poses, although the details are less clearly preserved. The shoulders are variously decorated, plain or with decorative motifs such as stripes. The group illustrates the presence and variety of erotic imagery in Roman lamp decorations, with the discus providing the principal surface for the figural scenes.
