AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beige ceramic oil lamp resting on a circular foot, the base is shaped like a flat dish with straight edges ending in a narrow convex rim. The nozzle is pinched and slightly elongated.
The lamps turned in clay, commonly called saucer lamps, are the earliest known. It is agreed that Mesopotamia is the place of origin and the Bronze Age the period of their development. This form spread across the eastern Mediterranean and endured for millennia.
