Bronze Lamp-stand

Top of a bronze lamp-stand made in two pieces: the lower part consists of a cylindrical socket with mouldings at the top and bottom, with a narrower octagonal cylinder above, which has two inverted calices and supports a circular element that fits into the shallow socket of the upper part. From this socket rise three elongated leaves joined by a ring; the leaves are damaged and part of the ring is lost.
