<div type="commentary">
<p>Broken and reconstructed ossuary has red wash and low feet. Height describes that of chest plus that of gabled lid with fingergrips. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of four metopes in a zigzag frame, a frieze at top and base of interlaced semi-circles with zigzag border, and vestiges of a palm-tree motif replacing triglyphs. Zigzag semi-circles indicate ascending branches, mirrored by roots. Each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle, with zigzags overlaying petals and zigzag quarter-circles in outer corners. אחא is a contraction of אחיהו or אחאב, common in Talmudic literature only from the late-second century CE, but occuring also on an ostracon from Samaria and on seventh century BCE seal-impressions on Judaean jar-handles.</p>
