Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Near East, Holy Land / Levant, Late Bronze Age, ca. 1550 to 1200 BCE. A large terracotta oil lamp, made from a coarse clay with small pebble-shaped inclusions, in a saucer-shaped profile with a small round base. It has a narrow, pinched rest for its wick spout and a shallow interior cavity. Lamps of this style were hugely important to the lives of the people who used them; in the Old Testament, various important people are compared by analogy to the significance of a lamp like this one. Size: 5" Diameter (12.7 cm).
