This clay lamp covered with a green-brown glaze was found in the fort at Al Huwailah during the site’s excavation. This imported lamp is of the ‘Bahla Ware’ type, characterised[DAG3.1][JB3.2][DAG4.1][JB4.2] by a thick, monochrome glaze ranging from dark yellow to olive brown. Bahla comes from the name of the city in Oman where this type of ceramic was produced. According to the stratigraphy, this lamp dates from the late beginning of the occupation of the site, in the late 18th century.
