Terracotta Amphoriskos from the Early Bronze Age period 3150 - 2150 BC. This lovely piece was found near Jericho. The Early bronze Age Period was the time of tribes of Israel and the unifying of Egypt. The Old Kingdom in Egypt, the period when the pyramids were built, a great and splendid age, came to its end in a natural disaster. The end of the Early Bronze Age or Old Kingdom in Egypt is the time of the momentous events connected with the story of the patriarch Abraham, and described in the Book of Genesis as the overturning of the plain.

BRONZE OIL LAMP, HELLENISTIC PERIOD 332 – 63 BC. Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalms 119:105). A lamp such as this might have lit homes during the flower of the Classical age. A metaphor of joy and prosperity, for hope, for life itself, lamps have illuminated the path of civilization for centuries. They have guided great thoughts through the night, stood vigil with lonely passions. In the presence of this simple object, we are in touch directly with a vanished world, with the people once warmed by its glow. Today it remains as an enduring symbol of man’s desire to conquer the darkness
