First Century Oil Lamp – Without Handle (Herodian Period)

Description

Identical oil lamps have been discovered in Jerusalem, Masada and other Judean sites by archaeologists. Our team of ceramicists has induced aging and wear to reflect the constant use and/or charring (from olive oil and soot) that often remain on the surface of such lamps. Materials: High-impact clay, furnace-fired and 100% hand-crafted in the Holy Land.  Includes: Detailed artifact description & serial number.
