Thank you!
Good to hear you felt the tension was palpable and effective!

(The object in the image is officially labelled as "toilet box or spoon". The accompanying text explains that it is one of a series of similar objects from the general area and period and, in fact, they don't quite know what they were for. This particular one is made from hippopotamus tusk ivory and seems to have had a lid, which might make using it as a lamp a bit more difficult. But that doesn't meant others might not have been used as lamps!)
