A portrait oil lamp from Pontes: Possible interpretations and meanings within early Byzantine visual culture
Apstrakt
The subject of this paper is a fragmented oil-lamp, discovered at Pontes
(east Serbia) dated to the 6th century, whose handle ending is shaped as a
woman’s head. The question posed in this paper is whether the image of this
woman could be identified as a portrait of some particular person or if it is
just as a pictorial sign with some complicated symbolic meaning. The
suggested identification alludes to the image of some of the empresses from
the second half of the 6th century.
