Authentic antique carved stone oil lamp from Afghanistan, middle ages

Weight: 4 lb. 6 oz. = 2 kg

Diameter: 9” inches = 23 cm

Material: hard stone- marble or alabaster, trasparent to sunlight (1st,10th and 11th pictures)

Condition: Well preserved for the age. There is a repaired crack 20 cm long. The crack was repaired long time ago (more than 100 years ago)

Age: Presumably, it was carved several hundred years ago, as an oil lamp without hanging hook.

Around 100-150 years it was broken and fixed, by skillful artisan, with wires; and then new hook was attached to prevent another fall.
