יוחנא יהוחנה

Damaged, reconstructed and partially restored ossuary has inner ledge on two sides, low feet, flat cut-to-measure lid, and cornice slightly protruding under front rim only. (Dimension in parentheses includes cornice.) Ornamentation, on chest's front side, consists of two metopes in zigzag frames and a broadened, bare triglyph. Each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. יוחנא is a contraction of יהוחנה, itself a contraction of יהוחנן. The first appears in the bare triglyph; the second on the chest's left side. There are other instances of differing forms of a name inscribed on a single ossuary. The gender of the deceased is unknown.
