The Global Egyptian Museum

This oil lamp was made according to the prevailing method in antiquity. It was made with a dish fashioned from common Egyptian clay. Two of the sides were folded and pressed against one another. A knob, now broken, might have been added to one extremity. At the other end, a small oval-shaped orifice was used as a spout.

Cette lampe à huile, selon une méthode courante dans l'antiquité, est formée à partir d'une coupelle en pâte commune égyptienne. Deux des côtés ont été pliés et rabattus l'un contre l'autre. Un bouton, aujourdh'ui brisé, avait peut-être été appliqué à une extrémité. Une petite ouverture ovale, à l'opposé, servait de bec.
