Ca. 100-300 AD.A terracotta double "frog lamp" comprises unique design of two individual lamps that are intricately joined together, forming a single entity connected by a substantial loop handle. Each lamp exhibits a mirrored configuration, characterized by a rounded body, an elongated nozzle with a rounded spout, and distinct signs of wear on the snoot. Notably, a lateral knob adorns the outer side of each lamp, enhancing its tactile appeal and facilitating ease of handling. The crowning feature of each lamp is a relief-molded depiction of a frog with simplified features, positioned atop the rounded body. In ancient societies, the frog held multifaceted symbolism and associations. It was commonly associated with water, fertility, and rebirth. Its presence on the lamps may have represented an invocation of these concepts, alluding to the transformative powers of water and the cyclical nature of life.
