Sign In to see what this sold for

Judaean, Early Bronze Age I, c.3100 - 2900 BCE. A terracotta butter churner. An interesting piece with a cylindrical body, a small handle at each end, and a tall central tubular spout. In perfect condition. L: 22.9cm / 9'. See Amiran, page 33. This odd looking pottery type appears to imitate a goat's skin pouch in clay. Amiran comments that it appears likely that it should be assigned some function in the dairy industry. A scarce piece and very rarely seen this nice! RARE!
