This scrollwork lamp represents Sol Invictus , the quintessential sun god of the Late Roman Empire. His masculine face is framed by a crown of rays, a symbol of cosmic power, and flanked by stars that reinforce his dominion over the heavens.

The cult of Sol Invictus was officially promoted by the Emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD as a symbol of imperial unity and renewal. His iconography—light triumphing over darkness—deeply shaped the Roman imagination and survived even in later Christian art.

Made of ceramic using artisan techniques, this lantern is fully functional . Ideal for illuminating your spaces with historical authenticity or as a decorative piece with a strong symbolic meaning.
It comes in a hand-printed cardboard box, perfect for gifts or collecting.
