עזרא Ἔζρας

'Ezra. Ezras

עזרא Ἔζρας

Ossuary has low feet, vaulted lid with fingergrips, and red wash also covering lid. Height describes height of chest plus that of lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in zigzag frames, each containing a twelve-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle and discs in each corner. Broadened triglyph contains a doubled zigzag line alluding to a "palm tree" motif. The name Ezra is unusual in this period, and is usually spelled Ἔζδρας, or occasionally Ἐζρα, in Greek. Aramaic name appears on the chest's back side; Greek appears on the right side.
