| Итог: | Besides having a functional purpose as a source of light, oil lamps, from their inception, were highly regarded and endowed with cultural and spiritual powers, following the suggestion that the closed lamp was adorned as a "House of Light" since the Classical (Hellenistic) period, inspired by architectural elements such as the column, whose height reached the sky and whose massiveness supported a heavy structure such as the Temple. I propose renaming the wheel-made saucer or "Beehive"-shaped oil lamp of the second-third parts of the Islamic period the "Dome"-shaped lamp, as the upper part that covers the receptacle is in the shape of a dome. Moreover, the dome of this lamp assumes the same shape as the dwellings that the Arab nomadic tribes constructed to provide shelter from the oppressive heat yet remain in command of the sky, i.e., the seat of God. |
