EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 8th-7th century BC - a clay jar handle with an intriguing history. Crafted by Phoenician artisans, this ancient piece now resides in a private collection, preserving its cultural significance for generations to come. What makes this jar handle truly extraordinary is the seal impression it bears in ancient Hebrew script, believed to belong to a king of that era. These seals were likely used to mark jars selected for taxation purposes, offering us insight into the administrative practices of the time. The photograph beautifully captures the relief and stamp on the handle, emphasizing its hebraic markings and historical value. The intricate details of this artifact are brought to life through eZev Radovan's expert lens. As we admire this relic from centuries past, we can't help but marvel at how such simple objects held immense importance within their society. This clay jar handle serves as a tangible link between our present-day world and an ancient civilization that once thrived. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art treasures like these, we have access to visual records that allow us to explore history beyond textbooks. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage and appreciate the beauty found within everyday artifacts.
