Darom mold-made lamp with triangles and lines around filling hole, a ring base, and a knob handle
Daroma lamps were manufactured in Judaea after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, when the urban population, including artists and craftsmen, fled Jerusalem. These are the first decorated lamps made by Jews and intended for Jewish use. The sides of the triangles in the motif on my lamp bow outward and probably represent flower petals or leaves of some sort.
The lamp measures 10.2 cm long, 7.3 cm wide, and 3.8 cm high
