| Imported Cypriot Terra Cotta jug “Bilbil”, Found in the Holy Land. (Time of Mosses) Late Bronze Age 1550-1200 BC. Excellent condition, a few small chips, see photos (to be expected), Intact and very Rare. During the Late Bronze Age jugs known as “bilbils” were imported into Canaan. Analysis of substances found inside some of them has shown that they were used to hold the drug opium. The shape of the jug is strikingly like that of an upturned poppy head. This is a superb and robust example of these well documented imported ancient pitchers. | ||||||||
