    Holy Land Terracotta Oil Lamp

    1st-2nd Century A.D

    Round lamp with tapered channel and crescentic shaped nozzle. Comparatively broad central filling hole with raised perimeter and ribbed edge flanked on both sides by raised band of horizontal chevrons, and band of raised dots. Chevrons terminate at both ends in circle with raised dot infill which in turn gives way to fanned palmette in fairly high relief. Undecorated nozzle and low handle.
