Iron Age II


Side view  
A jar-bottle handleless, piriform, with round base and large serated lines which rise to form a low neck. The rim is thick and narrows to form a small mouth. It is burnished. Its form and age is problematical. It may be an Iron Age imitation of an imported Bronze Age Egyptian drop-shaped vessel. Ref: Amiran, p.188, no.1. Origin: Possibility Hebron.
