Object Description

A Holy Land terracotta jar featuring a globular body and two small ledge handles on each side. The vessel presents a wide, uneven mouth with a slightly flared rim, and a short neck.

The vessel sits on a flat, circular base. The terracotta is unglazed, highlighting the natural colourations of the material, now uneven due to ageing.
