Object Description
A Holy Land terracotta jug set on a short cylindrical flat foot, featuring a low squatting body and a long vertical handle that begins at the widest part of the body and ends on the wide neck just below the everted, funnel-mouthed rim. This is a very common thick-walled jug-form used to store oils. During this period pottery finishing techniques improved: potters used a remarkable amount of red slip, applied by hand and smoothed with an irregular burnish.
Date: Circa 3rd-1st Millennium BC
