Oil Lamp
Comment
"The coins came together with two large fragments of a so-called 'Herodian' oil lamp in which they were said to have been found. The largest lamp fragment measures 61.5 x 65 x 28 mm. and comprises the back of the lamp and much of the filling hole. The second fragment measures 38 x 30.5 x 2.1 mm. and is the knife-pared spout of the lamp. There is no soot blackening the lamp tip; hence, it may never have been used to burn oil. Measurement indicates that the filling hole of the intact lamp had a diameter of 26.3 mm., large enough for the coins to have easily fit through the hole. Furthermore, a test carried out by the write, using an intact oil lamp of comparable size, showed that the 16 coins fit easily into the lamp" (Hendin 2000-2, 180).
