- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, Holyland (Herodian), ca. 37 BCE to 70 CE. A very rare and beautifully-preserved form of mold-made terracotta oil lamp, with eight wicks projecting from its large discus and a loop handle rising vertically from the center, flanked by two small filling holes. Around the shallow discus is a raised motif of dots and rings. On the underside is the remains of a maker's mark that can no longer be read. Lamps of this style are usually found in Judea and Jerusalem. Size: 4.9" W x 2" H (12.4 cm x 5.1 cm)
For a similar oil lamp found in the Herodian Palace in Jericho (displayed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem), see Biblical Archaeology Review, November/December 1996, p. 41.
