Sussman and Adler identify the type as a northern imitation of Beit Natif lamps. Sussman calls this handle type, which was not used at Beit Natif, "wing-shaped."AL78101.

Late Roman - Byzantine, Syria-Palestina, Beit Nattif Imitative Ovoid Lamp, c. 270 - 500 A.D.
The size and form of this lamp is similar to the Beit Nattif ovoid lamp type, but differs in decorative details. Beit Nattif Lamps are named after the site in the Judean Foothills in south-central Israel where a workshop for the type was found. The type was, however, imitated throughout Israel. This lamp is not a very close to match to any of the many examples published in our references. We believe it is an imitative made by a small workshop somewhere other than Beit Nattif that produced for local use. Beit Nattif| Lamps| page in NumisWiki.AL93882.

Greek, Attic, Kyathos, 515 - 500 B.C.
From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years. Ex Jerome Eisenberg, ex, Malloy, Official Guide to the Artifacts of Ancient Civilizations, # 1308.
Developed in the second half of the sixth century, most probably in the workshop of Nikosthenes, the kyathos (pl. kyathoi; compare the Greek verb, kuein - 'to contain') is a small dipper, with a single high handle and low foot. It seems that the shape was copied from Etruria, and, like the Nikosthenic amphorae, serves as a likely example for the targeting of a particular market by Athenian potters.
The satyr was the goat demon of Greek myth, whom the Israelites were warned not to worship.AM35500. Attic Kyathos, cf. Kyathos in Oxford, Seated Deities, ABU, 614:3; 14.6 cm high; high handle decorated with pointed knob, Choice, a Satyr dancing and Maenads on both sides, ivy sprigs around with a three palmette pattern, palmettes on handle; very bold, repaired, some restoration; SOLD
Cypriot Bichrome Ware Amphora, Iron Age, c. 1100 - 750 B.C.

Indus Valley, Bichrome Figural Pot, c. 3rd Millennium B.C.
The Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization (3300-1300 BC; mature period 2600-1900 BC) was located in what is now Pakistan and northwest India. It was one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, along with its contemporaries, Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. At its peak, the Indus Civilization may have had a population of well over five million. Inhabitants developed new techniques in handicrafts (carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin). The civilization is noted for its cities built of brick, with roadside drainage systems and multistoried houses.AB59761.
