| This elegant shaped stirrup vessel is of a type often associated with ancient Mycenae on the Greek mainland. As there was thriving trade during the Late Bronze Age between the various cultures of the eastern Mediterranean, it is very possible that the jar originated there and traveled to ancient Palestine filled with precious oil or wine.

By the late 1100s B.C., the power of the Mycenaean kingdoms had collapsed, but elements of Mycenaean culture continued with artists trying to carry on remembered traditions. Without a unifying power, the widely spread Mycenaean settlements developed independent regional styles of pottery. The stirrup jar, named for the shape of its handles, was used for the storage and shipping of liquids, usually oil. These jars were made in a wide range of sizes; a small example like this probably held perfumed oil. | ||||||||
