Near East, Holyland, Byzantine Period, ca. 6th to 8th century CE.

The fascinating vessel is beautifully adorned with incised linear motifs along its exterior walls; note how one side remarkably resembles a Byzantine depiction of a menorah! Though formed from clay of a warm orange hue, nice tan-colored earthen deposits scatter the surface. Size: 4.2" Diameter x 4.1" H (10.7 cm x 10.4 cm)
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection acquired before 2000; ex-Aweidah Gallery, Jerusalem, Israel
