Dura-Europos Period

Our Dura-Europos oil lamp was produced around the 3rd century AD. 

One theme in Dura-Europos oil lamps is that some "lamps imitate bronze lamps, with a laige elongated pear-shaped body and a high handle terminating in an animal's head." - Shulamit Hadad, The Oil Lamps from the Hebrew University Excavations at Bet Shean
