This lamp come from Abraham's time and is about 3,800 years old. The pottery
ware of this period was creative and such a lamp would have existed side
by side with the four-spouted variety, which soon went out of fashion.
It is red-burnished and has a slightly pinched snout, with a rough but
sturdy external finish. There are some traces of soot.
The simplicity of the design gives it a special beauty.
