| Period: |
Iron Age II, 1000 BC to 586 BC. This is the historically well-known period framed by King Solomon building the First Temple in Jerusalem and its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar after conquering the city. |
| Description: |
Small juglet from the Holy Land. Spherical body with slim neck and handle. The clay body is covered by a black slip.
|
| Background: |
The black slip is typical for the so-called black ware from the Iron Age II period. This type of vessel was mostly made of dark clay. A slip was applied which turned black when the clay was baked in the oven. Because of this technique the surface of the juglet is today well-preserved. You can still feel the smoothness of it holding the piece in your hands.
