They would pour oil into a central hole in the lamp, which would then sit in a store in the bowl.A piece of string or linen would then be dipped into the oil and this would soak up the oil and light, producing a steady flamelike a candle. Then people could hold the lamp without burning themselves and place it in a lamp holder or a hook on the wall.
