פלטיא מן ירושלם

Pelaṭya, from Jerusalem

פלטיא מן ירושלם

Unfinished, broken and battered, reconstructed and slightly restored ossuary has low feet, some damaged, and the fragment of a flat lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in zigzag frames, each containing a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. Two petals of each rosette are unfinished. Worn inscription appears on the chest's left side. The name occurs in Rabbinic sources as that of R. Paltiya (or Pelatya) of Naveh. This inscription and a bowl found in the tomb confirm that the family interred there originated in Jerusalem (where some of the Jericho ossuaries were manufactured).
