This is a bronze lamp from the workshop of Severo da Ravenna in the early 16th century Padua or Ravenna. This lamp is in the form of a grotesque male head mounted on a base of branches. This head is resting on a tripod pillar, enriched with mouldings and masks. The part of objects made in this workshop were joined by handmade screws of the same size and were therefore interchangeable. The foot to this lamp is probably a replacement and the head has been soldered to what appears to be a section of a candlestick.
