Burner channel and wick opening bounded by a convex shaft. Channel decorated with a six-leafed palm branch, interpreted in the context of Byzantine Jerusalem workshops as a schematic representation of a menorah. Oval ring-shaped base decorated in the center with a six-pointed star Magen David, known in Arab-Muslim culture as the Seal of Solomon. Outside the ring-shaped base are three symmetrically spread palm branches—menorahs. Entire lamp impressed into the mold. 7th–8th century, Syro-Palestine. Materials/function: oil lamp. Dimensions: height 3.4 cm; length 10.8 cm; width 6.9 cm. Cultural/iconographic notes: Islamic art; Arabic; palm branches; star; Seal of Solomon; everyday life in the Middle East., A close-up of an oval, shallow clay object with a central round opening and a pointed spout at one end, showing a textured surface with carved leaf-like patterns and raised ridges; the object appears worn and rough with areas of dark discoloration near the spout and inside the opening. The visible colors include tan, beige, brown, dark brown, and gray.
