Description

Archaeological Biblical Find Iron Age oil lamp – used during the Israelite monarchy.

Good condition.
Height: 5.5 cm.
Found in Jerusalem.

Lamps such as this one consist of a bowl to hold fuel, which was usually animal or olive oil, and a spout to support a wick, which was probably made of flax.

The burning wick blackened the spout and must have produced a rather smoky light.

Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. (Matthew 25:1)

Comes with a certificate of authenticity and all required documents for export approval.

Shipped from the Holy Land.
