The fact that this Oil Lamp was found in Jerusalem and dates to the Early/Middle Bronze Age, it should probably be attributed to the Jebusite Clan. The Jebusites where decedents of Canaan and named after their patriarch Jebus. It was the Jebusites who founded Jerusalem/Salem.
Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites.
Genesis 10:15-16
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
