Product Details
Herodian Period 37 BCE – 70 AD. 3.75” Inches By 2.9” Inches Time of Christ.
The two-part construction characterized the Herodian Oil lamps, where the nozzle was attached to the wheel-made body. Although named after King Herod, their production spanned roughly a century, extending beyond his reign. These lamps are found mostly in Jerusalem and its vicinity. Some scholars speculate that their specialized manufacturing technique may have been preferred due to ritual considerations in Jerusalem’s Jewish practices.
