Description
Elongated terracotta lamp with a short twisted handle, the nozzle lacking a channel, which is instead marked by longitudinal lines. The shoulders are wide and the filling hole is relatively small. The decoration on the shoulder includes floral motifs and grapevines. The handle is short and twisted above the lamp, without touching it.
These lamps dating back to the Islamic period were mainly found around Jerusalem, but also in other parts of Israel, such as Beit Shean, Atlit, and Ashdod, all datable between the 7th and the 13th century AD
