Comment:
According to Victoria Jensen (2021-11-13), "Provenience should be Room 228, Northern Kom (Northern Palace). The PAHMA registration journal attributes this lamp to Tomb 228 but it was not recorded in Reisner's notes from Tomb 228. It dates to the Roman/Coptic period, suggesting that the provenience should be Room 228 from the North Palace, which was excavated by F.W. Green. Green did not record the finds from this room in his notes, but Coptic material culture was found throughout the palace from its reuse as a monastery.
