FROM JERUSALEM, ROMAN HERODIAN CLAY OIL LAMP,37BC-70 AD

DIRECTLY FROM THE HOLY LAND, Biblical Large size Roman Herodian clay oil lamp, 37 BC - 70 AD "Time of JESUS and King Herod the great"

Known as the Herodian because of its widespread use during the reign of Herod the Great in Israel (circa 37 BC to 4 BC), this lamp was wheel-made with the spout applied by hand. Thus, every Herodian lamp is slightly different. The type remained in use up to about AD 150 in some parts of the Holy Land

This lamp is the best choice for those wishing to have a lamp like those most common in Judea during the ministry of Jesus.

Measurements: Length: 9 cm - Width: 6.5 cm

Found near Bethlehem south of Jerusalem, Holy Land
