In the 1st Century AD, a popular type of bottle was used throughout the Roman Empire. This bottle features a blown tubular ledge rim, a cylindrical neck that widens at the bottom, and a squat globular body with a flat base. Commonly used for storing perfumes and scented oils, many were found in burial caves and are known as “tear bottles,” reflecting the belief that they collected the tears of mourners.
This unique piece from the time of Jesus symbolizes repentance in Christ and comes with a certificate of authenticity and necessary export documents, shipped directly from the Holy Land.
