A JEWISH TERRACOTTA OIL LAMP - Byzantine Period, 5th-6th century CE. 10.6 cm. Depicting two 7 branched lighted Menorahs (Chanukah lamps), each on a tripod with vertebral columns. The 5 doted circles, probably represent scrolls. With arches around the shoulders. In very good condition (with a small hole at one of the circles), and very rare. For this type of lamps see: Ein-Gedi Stratum II of the Synagogue (Barag-Porat, 1970, p. 100). Ex Gil Davidovich collection, Petah Tikva.
