Syrian - Palestinian oil lamp shows typical characteristics of a lamp from this period. Orange-buff clay, covered with a white calcareous(?) deposit.
The lamp has an almond shaped body; the shoulder is decorated with relief lines, and there are similar oblique lines on the nozzle. The oil hole has a grooved rim and is wide in comparison to the lamp. Encircling the rimmed oil hole is a narrower raised ridge which extends into a rib down the nozzle and encircles the wick hole. There is a provenanced base ring and good evidence of burning around the wick-hole. Currently in pieces but complete.
