A pair of bronze 'camel and rider' lamps
Eastern Zhou dynasty, Warring States period
東周戰國 青銅人騎駱駝形燈座兩件

wood stands
h. 11 and 11.6 cm

Condition Report:
Inspected under naked eyes:
The taller: joint between figure and camel is loose; some areas on surface with light protective coat; two left legs probably reinforced; typical verdigris and encrustation.
The shorter: camel’s tail is losing; few nicks to the base edges; legs probably reinforced with the base; typical verdigris and encrustation.
經裸眼觀察：
較高者：人與駱駝連結處鬆動；表面局部有施保護膜；左邊二腿或有加固；表面有正常銅鏽及附著物。
較矮者：駱駝尾巴佚失；底座邊緣有小缺；四足與底座或經加固；表面有正常銅鏽及附著物。

Catalogue Note:
compare with a highly close bronze lamp in similar design, which was excavated from a Chu Kingdom tomb, now in the Hubei Provincial Museum, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Bronzes Unearthed in China, Beijing, 2018, vol.13, pl. 577.

湖北博物院藏一件人騎駱駝燈與本件頗似，惟燈盤尚存，出土於江陵楚墓，見《中國出土青銅器全集·湖北下》，北京，2018年，圖版577。

Provenance:
Collection of Sondra Landy Gross.
