Colleagues have been asking about where they can find information about objects from Syria. The ICOM Red List for antiquities from Syria can be found
here.
Following reports of widespread damage and looting at cultural heritage sites in Syria, ICOM decided to publish the Emergency Red List of Syrian Cultural Objects at Risk with the aim to help art and heritage professionals and law enforcement officials identify Syrian objects that are protected by national and international legislations. In order to facilitate identification, the Emergency Red List illustrates the categories or types of cultural items that are most likely to be illegally bought and sold.

I published a small selection of the types of ancient lamps that are typically found in Syria. Your colleagues may find it useful.
