The paper deals with an exceptionally well preserved copper alloy lamp (Bailey group g) treasured in the Medieval Collection of the Belgrade City museum. The exact location of the find is unknown but it is likely to originate within the territory of ancient Singidunum. The lamp is in a good state of preservation with a carinated body and a loop handle with a massive solid cast cross above it . Similar lamps have been reported at a few sites in Danube Basin (Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania) but majority originate from the Middle East. They are generally considered as imports from the Eastern Mediterrenian, mainly from Egypt and Syria, and dated to the period of 6th and early 7th century. Physical and chemical analyses showed that the lamp is made of brass. It represent an object of fine workmanship that could have been the property of some influental person or church inventory from Singidunum or its enviroment.
