3D model of an ancient four-spouted clay oil lamp, dating back to the Early Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. Crafted on a basic wheel or hand-shaped into a flat-bottomed saucer. While the clay was still soft, the potter pinched four symmetrical corners inward to create dedicated resting slots for burning wicks. Olive oil was poured into the center reservoir, and up to four flax wicks could be lit simultaneously to maximize ambient light. Provenience unknown.
