Canaanite Chocolate and White Ware Jug

Canaanite artisans were prolific, and their pottery came in an array of fantastic shapes, colors and sizes. This white ware jug is no exception, its ghostly exterior marked with dark brown lines that zigzag across the top half of its bulbous body. A wide base supports the body itself, while the short neck above ends at a large flat mouth.

A handle rises abruptly from the body and connects at the neck’s base, making a sturdy loop for the well-worn hands of an ancient Canaanite

Canaanite Chocolate and White Ware Loop Footed Jar

The distinctive base of this Canaanite jar is made of three looped legs that prop the body up in tripod-like fashion. The design is more aesthetically pleasing than innovative, yet the rest of the jug was carefully made to exacting standards that allowed for the flawless curves of its white ceramic exterior.

The upper half of the jug is decorated with chocolate brown bands that alternate between straight lines and tightly wound zigzags. The overall effect is an ancient artifact imbued with a timeless sense of artistry and originality.REFERENCE #

Massive Canaanite Oil Lamp

A massive Canaanite oil lamp. Among the earliest of clay lamps is the saucer lamp. In antiquity, these developed after a saucer or shallow bowl had its edges folded up to form a spout. A great variety of these lamps exists. These lamps would have been the style in use in the Old Testament especially in king David’s time. Every Canaan lamp is hand folded, so minor variation will occur, but all have this general look.
