Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A mold-made terracotta oil lamp of a petite composition with a concentric ring base, gently-sloping walls, rounded shoulders, twin fill holes, and a protruding wick spout. Centered within the recessed tondo is a stylized menorah with seven upraised candle-holders in low-relief, its squat base resting on a set of concentric circles. With a pale-coral coloration, this is a wonderful reminder of how the Jewish faith has persevered throughout antiquity. Size: 3.625" L (9.2 cm).
