It has always been an important piece of life to able to create artificial sources of light. In the earliest days people used burning sticks and open fires to accomplish this goal. But the techniques for doing so got more and more refined with the passing of the time. During antiquity most people relied on oil lamps as their primary source of light. So did the early Christians! All people like to have nice thing, therefore, many thing come in a plain variety as well as in a decorated one. The same is true for oil lamps. The object at hand is clearly of Christians origin depicting the Chi Rho symbol, also known as "Chrismon".
Oil candles remained popular in the Mediterranean long after Rome had fallen and still remain popular until today - at least in some remote villages and communities. If you yourself ever wondered what it would be like to light your house like the old Romans used to do, then wonder no more! This oil lamp is just what you have been looking for.
