 A Nabataean oil lamp. Thousands of these have been discovered throughout Nabataea. Oil was poured into the middle of the lamp, and a wick was inserted in the left side and lighted. The lamp was held by the handle on the right. |
 Clay bottles like these were used
to store incense and perfume, the mainstay of Nabataean trade.
Thousands of these have been found throughout the Nabataean Empire
as well. |

 During the time
of the Nabataean empire glass dishes were just becoming available.
Since many of the Nabataeans were wealthy merchants, glass dishes
have been found at many sites.
