Biblical Period

The Biblical Period refers to the events mentioned in the Old and New Testaments. Although the dates are not settled, they generally range from about 4000BCE to 400BCE for the Old Testament and from the reign of Herod before 4BCE to the 60’s CE for the New Testament. Biblical events happening or mentioned in the two texts occurred mostly in the Eastern Mediterranean region that included the Land of Israel, Palestine, Canaan, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and other current Middle Eastern areas.

It dates from the time of the Holy Land during the first Jewish Biblical Period in Judea circa the 8th to 6th century BCE, a ancient time from which few pieces survive intact.

    This small juglet has a globular body, a round base, a very short neck, a wide mouth and short handles on each side. Like many other small Second Temple Period (circa 597-300BCE) pieces it is a functional item covered with a black slip and burnished. Small juglets like this “…were finished to a higher quality and were used for cosmetics and scented oils [and perfumes and ointments].” (Frank) This piece is intact, in good condition and a genuine piece from ancient history. There are two chips on the mouth rim, body dents, and burnish losses, all expected for its age and longer than two millennia old burial.
