Massive Canaanite Oil Lamp

A massive Canaanite oil lamp. Among the earliest of clay lamps is the saucer lamp. In antiquity, these developed after a saucer or shallow bowl had its edges folded up to form a spout. A great variety of these lamps exists. These lamps would have been the style in use in the Old Testament especially in king David’s time. Every Canaan lamp is hand folded, so minor variation will occur, but all have this general look.

Phoenician Bichrome Ceramic Amphora

The dull pointed base of this large Phoenician amphora hints to the worker’s toil in an ancient time. With nary a bottom upon which to rest, this vessel would have been lugged by its two handles through the winding streets of a grand Phoenician city. In order to keep tabs on his investment, this vessel’s owner would have used the lovely bichrome decorations that ring its body and neck as a mark of possession, individualizing it among the others in the market.

The smooth sides of this terracotta amphora remain in excellent condition, while the bichrome bands are still crisp and distinctly colored.
