בר יהודא

son of Yehuda

בר יהודא

Very worn ossuary has low feet. Lid is missing. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of two wreaths(?) of alternating red and plain squares arranged in imitation of a metope pattern. Each plain square contains a red dot, and similar dots encircle each wreath. In the center sits a palm tree with ascending branches(?), above which the inscription appears painted in black. Ornamentation on the chest's back side consists of two six-petalled rosettes within line circles surrounded by a line frame containing small circles. This is one of few painted ossuaries with a motif other than the lattice pattern. The first line of the inscription, presumably containing the personal name of the deceased, is illegible. The name יהודא is common, more frequently spelled יהודה; here it appears with of ligature of the first two letters.
