Although this week I’ve been working on attaching metadata (information about the object) to the image, I wanted to share a few of my favorite images I took of our Roman lamp collection. The variations in shape, size, and detail of these objects are fascinating. The museums has approximately 250 ceramic lamps in its collection, and I have photographed about one-fourth of the lamp collection.
