ANCIENT IRON AGE POTTERY BEER JUG WITH S STRAINER, 1000 BC

Time of the Kings of ancient Israel

Beautifully made in a globular body with long spout and a strainer

Very little is known about vessels used for drinking beer, those we know of are generally characterised by a spout and a strainer. Since the remains of straw and chaff usually floated along the surface of the beer, it was necessary to strain the liquid before drinking it.

Condition: Part of the spout has been professionally restored otherwise intact

Found in Hebron south of Jerusalem, Israel
