יהודה בר יהוחנן בר יתרא

Unfinished ossuary has inner ledge on two sides and flat lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes, unfinished at base, in a zigzag frame, each containing a six-petalled rosette within concentric line circles; triglyph replaced by a lily cut open to reveal botanical details, incised in freehand. Two small handles on the lily's corolla give an impression that an amphora was intended. Doubled lines traverse the front side's four corners. Inscription is on the chest's front side, beginning at the upper right corner and avoiding the lily. Inclusion of the grandfather's name is infrequent.
