Lot 418
Roman Ceramic Vial from the Moshe Dayan Collection. Judaea, c. 100 AD. Neatly potted vial, in coarse pink ware, with traces of red-brown slip. Bottle with piriform body and thick columnar neck, and very well preserved but for three trivial chips on bottle's rim. Inscribed in ink on one side towards base: "Samaria, A.D. 100, M. Dayan." Attractive, both as an artifact of ancient Judaea, but also as a momento from Isreal's most celebrated general of recent times, who was both an archeologist and a collector. Height: 4-7/8".
Estimated Value $100 - 200.
