ידית בת נדב

Judith, daughter of Nadav

ידית בת נדב

Broken and reconstructed ossuary has red wash and low feet. Height describes that of chest plus that of vaulted lid with fingergrips at edges. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in line frames and a triglyph replaced by small, six-petalled rosettes within concentric line circles at top and base. Each metope contains similar encircled rosettes in its outer corners, and a six-petalled rosette within concentric zigzag circles in its center, with zigzags overlaying petals. The rosettes replacing the triglyph represent a stage in the disintegration of the metope scheme. Name is inscribed on the rim of the chest's left side. ידית is a contraction of יהודית, derived from the transliteration יודית for the Graecized Ἰουδιθ. נדב is a contraction of one of the Biblical names עמינדב ,יהונדב ,אבינדב, et cetera, which occur up to the early-second century CE.
