Gush Etzion inkwell discovery
The Jewish Press reports on a new archaeological discovery:
A rare archaeological find was discovered at the Horvat Brachot excavation site in Gush Etzion: a complete inkwell dating to the end of the Second Temple period.Very impressive, and I hope to see it in the museums soon.
The dig is conducted by the Archeology Command Unit in the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria, in collaboration with Herzog College.
The inkwell, which was discovered inside a large building dating to the Second Temple period, is made of a clay cylinder with a flat base, a round handle, and a narrow opening with an inward-leaning rim through which the ink and pen were inserted.
