A Canaanite Basket Handle Spouted Jug

This round Canaanite jug is covered in a series of frenzied red lines that seem to buzz through time, the intersecting spaces broken up by a clearing of just three vertical marks at four spots along the jug’s body. The jug’s basket handle arches above the mouth’s large opening, while a short spout arises from the front, flaring slightly for an easy pour.

The little we know of ancient Canaan comes from the rich archeological record they left behind. This piece is an excellent example of the simple rites of ancient history, when the storage and transportation of water meant the difference between life and death in the arid realm of Canaan.

Canaanite Chocolate and White Ware Jug

Canaanite artisans were prolific, and their pottery came in an array of fantastic shapes, colors and sizes. This white ware jug is no exception, its ghostly exterior marked with dark brown lines that zigzag across the top half of its bulbous body. A wide base supports the body itself, while the short neck above ends at a large flat mouth.

A handle rises abruptly from the body and connects at the neck’s base, making a sturdy loop for the well-worn hands of an ancient Canaanite

Canaanite Chocolate and White Ware Loop Footed Jar

The distinctive base of this Canaanite jar is made of three looped legs that prop the body up in tripod-like fashion. The design is more aesthetically pleasing than innovative, yet the rest of the jug was carefully made to exacting standards that allowed for the flawless curves of its white ceramic exterior.

The upper half of the jug is decorated with chocolate brown bands that alternate between straight lines and tightly wound zigzags. The overall effect is an ancient artifact imbued with a timeless sense of artistry and originality.REFERENCE #

Canaanite Red Slip Spouted Jar

The natural polish of this red slip spouted jar shines brightly even under the softest of lights. The large ovoid body of this piece has no neck, but instead a flattened ring atop its mouth and a bent spout with a small hole for measured pouring. This suggests an efficiency commonly found throughout the arid regions of ancient Canaan, when water and wine were too important for the casual spill.

Ceramic Line Painted Amphoriskos

The thin lines that mark the top half of this large amphoriskos are on the primal end of art history, yet their application is so intricate as to reveal the care and attention to detail of the Canaanite artisan who applied them to the vessel’s exterior over 5000 years ago.

The large egg-shaped body of this amphoriskos allowed it to hold substantial amounts of liquid, be it wine, water or oil. The rich desert tones of its smooth exterior stand out boldly among the monochrome paint that scratch its surface.

Massive Canaanite Oil Lamp

A massive Canaanite oil lamp. Among the earliest of clay lamps is the saucer lamp. In antiquity, these developed after a saucer or shallow bowl had its edges folded up to form a spout. A great variety of these lamps exists. These lamps would have been the style in use in the Old Testament especially in king David’s time. Every Canaan lamp is hand folded, so minor variation will occur, but all have this general look.
