Oil-lamps from Eretz Israel: The Louis and Carmen Warschaw collection at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Carmen and Louis Waschaw Collection of pottery oil-lamps is one of the largest and most important private collections of oil-lamps from Eretz Israel and the surrounding regions. It includes approximately 600 examples, the majority dating from the Roman and Byzantine period to the beginning of the Moslem period. eretz Israel has a long tradition of oil-lamp manufacture; the lamps represented in the collection, though they do not give us a complete history of the Eretz Israel lamp, enable us to understand the fashions and styles of production, and to glean all that is interesting and beautiful from the lamps themselves. The Warschaw Collection, like others of its kind, reflects the taste of its owners as well as conditions in the antiquities market at the time it was assembled. It is noted mainly for the Darom and Beit Nattif groups of lamps, which are remarkable for their delicate ornamentation and the fascinating diversity of their patterns.
