Experience Antiquity Up Close!
With this artful piece of jewelry made of natural clay, you will receive a true one-of-a-kind item inspired by ancient models from antiquity. The Qumran Scrolls were first discovered between 1947 and 1956 in cave sites around the Khirbit Qumran ruins in the West Bank. Among them were about 850 scrolls in clay jars, which dated back to ancient Judaism between 250 BC and 40 AD.
In this Qumran vessel, some of the oldest biblical manuscripts were safely stored. The religious community used these vessels to hide their contents from Roman invaders and to securely deposit the writings in the caves.
