שלום חנניה בר

Shalom. Ḥananya, son (of)

שלום חנניה בר

Ossuary has inner ledge on two sides, yellow wash, low feet, and a flat, overhanging lid that rests on the rim of the chest rather than the ledge. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in a zigzag frame and a broadened triglyph containing a branch with nine leaves and a line border. Each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. The inscription חנניה בר, in the left metope, is unfinished, with the patronymic omitted. The word שלום is incribed on the chest's left side, inverted. It is more common to find inverted words on the inside of an ossuary, inscribed vertically. Here שלום may refer either to the woman's name contracted from שלומציון or to the word meaning "peace." The ossuary contained the remains of two adults, one a man; if the other was a woman, it may have been Shalom, presumably Hananya's wife.
