Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Vol. 24: 23rd November 1911 to 27th June 1912 Mr. Lyon thomson questioned whether such fire-dogs were the ordinary hearth-furniture of the time; if the fire were on the same scale, cooking at it would be out of the question. Perhaps they were made for purposes of cremation with somewhat the form of a bed, and he saw some analogy to a Roman bed with horses' heads. The iron frame might have followed the lines of a wooden stand for holding amphorae upright. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
