"Freestanding zigzag" is a decorative techinque consisting of a freestanding coil, zigzagged between the rim of the vessel and the shoulder forming an open lattice free standing above the vessel's neck. Freestanding zigzag was popular in the Eastern Mediterranean in the early fourth century. In Egypt it was commonly applied on jars and in Palestine it was commonly applied on both jars and kohl tubes.
In the Ernesto Wolf Collection, Marianne Stern argues the distribution of this type of juglets, from the Holy Land to western Europe, indicates they were produced in Palestine as early Christian amulets and taken as relics or souvenirs from holy areas.
