Unpublished antique lamps from the Franciscan monastery in Visoko and Department of archaeology of the Faculty of Philosophy University of Sarajevo

Abstract

The subject of the analysis and presentation in this article are examples of the antique lamps from the collections of Franciscan monastery in Visoko and Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo. These six examples were unpublished. One firm lamp from the Domavia was given as a present to the Department of Archaeology of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Sarajevo. Another five lamps, from the Franciscan monastery in Visoko belong to the following types: Greek lamp (two), pan shape lamp (one) and lamps with round shaped nose with volutes (one). The only deficiency of these lamps is that the place of the origin is unknown. In monastery collections they were brought as an accidental finding, probably from the area of the Roman Province of Dalmatia.
