41 x 29 cm diameter
Early Byzantine jar in perfect condition. The large storage jar goes
back to Early Bronze III (about 2650-2350 BC), over 500 years before
the time of Abraham. In its time it was a rather ordinary household item
from a poor family. Today it is a prized exhibit in many a museum. The
mouth of the jar is damaged, but the lip handles with the clay folded
back is a distinguishing characteristics of this early type jar.
