Nice ancient Maccabean lamp, circa. 2nd Century B.C.E. This is a nice specimen for these SCARCE lamps. The Maccabeans disdained anything Greek and it is during their period in Judaea that we find the lamp styles reverting to that of the First Temple period while the general size and shape are contemporaneous with the Greek lamps. Custom lamp stand INCLUDED. Lamp measures 73mm length, 48mm width.
