אלעזר בר זכריה

Unfinished ossuary has inner ledge on three sides, traces of red wash, low feet, and a flat, sliding lid that is broken. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of an entablature on antae with cube-capitals, and in the center, a palm tree with six-petalled rosettes in line circles to its left and right. Descending branches are indicated by a circle segment. The left side bears an unfinished three-petalled rosette within a line circle. The ornamentation is similar to a tomb facade with a palm at its gate; the artisan may have confused the present motif with a door motif, as on another ossuary from the area. Both names are common.
