THE JERUSALEM GIFT SHOP HOL Herodian Clay Oil Lamp 5.7912 x 9.6012 x 17.6022 cm

Authentic Herodian Clay Oil Lamp

This handmade replica reproduces a Herodian-era oil lamp discovered in archaeological digs across the Holy Land. It is produced by Christian families in Bethlehem and supplied by The Jerusalem Gift Shop since 2004. The terracotta piece is glazed inside and out to prevent oil leakage during use. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each lamp.

Replaces Modern Electric Lighting For Devotional Use

The lamp serves as a functional alternative to electric candles or decorative lights for personal prayer, Bible study or religious education. The jump is worth it when a tangible connection to scriptural history matters more than convenience. It burns common kitchen oil with a supplied wick that produces a smokeless, odourless flame for about three hours per filling.

Holds Enough Oil For Short Worship Sessions

The internal reservoir comfortably fuels a flame through a typical devotional period or small gathering. It runs out after roughly three hours of continuous burning, requiring a refill for longer vigils. The glazed clay body contains the oil reliably, though the maker recommends placing a plate beneath the lamp as a precaution.
