Lot 2782
Another Jar Handle with King of Hebron's Seal. Israel, late 8th century BC. An additional fragment, from the same jar as the preceding lot. On this the handle partially complete, but again deeply impressed by a large oval seal of the king's device: a top view of an Egyptian scarab beetle displaying four wings. Above and below, a two line inscription in paleo-Hebrew characters: "Lmlkh Hbrn" ("Belonging to the King of Hebron"). The impression sharp and clean! Likewise the sealing unusually complete, and much better than those usually encountered. Height: 3". Again, a choice speciman of Iron Age "Judaica." Rare.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,200.
