Roman Ceramic Oil Lamp From Tunisia Featuring A Leaping Hare, Roman Empire

This lamp, which likely dates from the late Roman Empire(5th or early 6th century A.D.), is in excellent condition.
It depicts an animal, probably a leaping harewith its ears pricked up, though it is difficult to identify clearly beneath the earthy andcalcareous deposits.
All around, in relief, is a geometric herringbone pattern repeated likea frieze of palmettes; the handle is solid and vertical, shaped like a raised crestat the back; two filling holes are drilled into the central medallionto pour in olive oil, and toward the front, the elongated spout features a largehole for the wick.
Below is a geometric mark in the shape of a bird’s footor a stylized twig, surrounded by a double circular ring—a signaturethat identified the workshop, or even the potter.
