Description
Early Israelite Terracotta Oil Lamp
12th/8th Century Bc
(Time of King David)
Lamps such as this one consist of a bowl to hold fuel, which was usually an animal or olive oil, and a spout to support a wick, which was probably made of flax. The burning wick blackened the spout and must have produced a rather smoky light.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity and all required documents for export approval.
Shipped from the Holy Land.
