Small juglet from the Holy Land
|
| Material: |
Pottery with red slip.
|
| Period: |
1000 BC to 586 BC. Iron Age II. 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 with a spherical body and conical neck. A circular profile handle runs from the lip to the shoulder. The small jug is a typical pottery of daily life in Israel in biblical times. Hebron is passed down as the find spot for this piece, a city with considerable historical importance. |
| Dimensions: |
103mm height, 67mm diameter without handle.
|
| Condition: |
Juglet fully intact with small, probably ancient chips. Possibly a small restoration beneath one of the stickers. It is remarkable that the original red slip is still intact to a large extend. Modern stickers reading "1503" and one with Hebrew script.
