A remarkable Early Byzantine terracotta oil lamp measuring 10.3 cm and in excellent condition. The lamp was manufactured in Antioch in ancient Syria and was excavated in Palestine. The style of lamp is referred to as a "high handle" type. The clay is a buff color with the remains of a red slip. There are four ribs on the front of the handle and four on the reverse. Raised dots surround the discus and there is a cross on the nozzle. A ridge surrounds the discus and the nozzle and a stylized branch is on the bottom of the nozzle. There is a double ring base and shipping is free. Terracotta pottery was used extensively throughout the ancient world and plates, jugs, bowls and plates were in daily use. However, the oil lamp was the most common article and was the only source of heat and illumination in every home and shop. Aside from being very essential household items they were also frequently utilized as funerary objects.
