Here's an unusual lucite paperweight from IAI or Israel Aerospace Industries which reads "Byzantine period Oil Lamp 600-640 A.D."  This piece is from a recent estate sale in the Dallas area where the original owner worked for Bell Helicopter and General Dynamics.  The large lucite has a clay Byzantine lamp in the center.  The IAI logo is on the right side of the lamp.


The paperweight measures 3⅜ inches by 4⅛ inches by 2⅞ inches.  It weighs 1¾ pounds before packaging.

 

The piece is marked as shown in the pictures.  

 

It is in excellent condition with no chips, nicks or major scratching.  It does have scratching on the base which is show in the last picture.
