Roman, Late Imperial to Byzantine Period, ca. late 4th to early 8th century CE. An attractive ensemble of 4 mold-made pottery oil lamps, all presenting ring-form bodies, sloped shoulders, annular fill holes, and wick spouts.

Its shoulders and neck are adorned with a decorative program of radiating and swirling striations, as well as scattered target-motifs. The next displays a recessed fill hole encompassed by a raised ring and a protruding handle or thumb rest at the side. The final pair are nearly identical, though 1 is redware and the other is blackware; both have discoid bodies with elongated necks, protruding spouts, petite, triangular handles at the back, and striated decoration enveloping the tops.
