Roman Syro-Palestinian, Glass Sprinkler Jug, 4th - 5th Century A.D.
This opaque buff-yellow-brown enamel-like weathering is common on glass vessels found in Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. Syria-Palaestina was a Roman province between 135 and about 390 A.D. It was established by the merger of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea, following the defeat of the Bar Kokhba revolt. Shortly after 193, the northern regions were split off as Coele Syria in the north and Phoenice in the south, and the province Syria Palaestina was reduced to Judea.AG21147. Choice, complete, intact, thick yellowish brown enamel-like weathering, weathering chipped in spots on rim and near base exposing rough glass surfaces, sprinkler jug, free-blow, thick green glass, 11.1 cm (4 3/8") tall, 6.1 cm (2 3/8") maximum diameter, small funnel mouth, rolled and folded in rim, short tubular neck, washer-like dropper diaphragm inside the base of neck, glass trail handle attached below rim and below neck; piriform body, kicked bottom with pontil mark; from a New Jersey dealer;
Roman Palestina or Arabia, Nabataean Pottery Oil Lamp, c. 225 - 300 A.D.
This lamp came to us in a group accumulated in Israel. The four Nabatean towns of Haluza, Mamshit, Avdat and Shivta, with their associated fortresses and agricultural landscapes linking them to the Mediterranean are in the Negev Desert, southern Israel today. In his, Nabataean Clay Lamps, an Analytical Study of Art and Myths, Nabil Khariy identifies lamps known from the Nabataean sites, especially Petra, which can be differentiated from Greek, Roman and Judaean parallels and identified specifically as Nabataean made. Khariy notes that although the Nabataeans lost their independence in 106 A.D., excavations clearly show aspects of Nabataean culture continued until late in the 6th century A.D. Khariy 66, similar to this lamp, is described as made with a local clay and cruder than similar lamps from non-Nabataean sites. Grawehr type J3, like this lamp, has a larger filling hole than most similar lamps. The larger filling hole is found on late examples of the type.AL21908. Nabatean Oil Lamp; cf. Khariy 66; Grawehr J3 (Petra, 225-300 A.D.) Murray-Ellis p. 26, 16 (Petra, ND); Negev-Sivan p. 117, 129 (Mampsis, 75-200 A.D.), near Choice, intact, small chips in handle, c. 225 - 300 A.D.; reddish-brown clay, round body, small rounded nozzle, small knob handle, defined ridge separating shoulders from plain concave discus, ten stamped rosettes impressed around shoulders, very low ring base; $150.00 (€138.00)
Roman, Syro-Palestinian, Small Glass Jar with Funnel Mouth, 3rd - 4th Century A.D.
A globular body with a funnel mouth is a very common form from the third to fourth century. Some vessels of this form were finely made, some were decorated, and some, like this specimen were plain and utilitarian.AG21015. cf. Isings 104b, Yale Gallery 268, Ontario Museum 474 (larger), Average, complete and intact, spots of rust colored weathering, glass small jar with a flaring mouth, 4.9 cm (1 7/8) tall, 3.9 cm (1 1/2") maximum diameter, free-blown, careless irregular shape, pale near colorless aquamarine glass, many bubbles, bulbous body, short neck, funnel mouth, fire rounded rim, kicked bottom with pontil mark; from the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years;
Late Roman - Byzantine, Holyland (Syro-Palestinian), "Elongated" Pottery Oil Lamp, c. 400 - 650 A.D.
| This type is identified by Adler as a Transjordan elongated lamp. Adler writes that the shoulders are narrow and ornamented with a wide variety of motifs including linear bands, geometric, and floral designs; the handle is tongue shaped projecting horizontally and decorated with three or more bands; the nozzle is decorated with geometric or floral designs or rarely a cross. The type is found in the northern part of Transjordan, and in Israel, mainly in northern Israel and the Beit Shean area. They date possibly as early as the fifth century, mostly to the sixth century and extending into the first half of the seventh century. In the Hellenistic and Roman eras Beit Shean was the Decapolis city Scythopolis. Click the photo on the right of the Roman theater at Beit Shean, to learn more about the city. |  |
