Ancient Israel, Southern Culture, Pottery Cup, Chalcolithic Period, 4th Millennium B.C.
|Holy| |Land| |Antiquities|, |Ancient| |Israel,| |Southern| |Culture,| |Pottery| |Cup,| |Chalcolithic| |Period,| |4th| |Millennium| |B.C.|, The Proto-Canaanite Ghassulian people lived in small hamlet settlements of mixed farming peoples, and migrated southwards from Syria into Israel. Houses were trapezoid-shaped and built mud-brick, covered with remarkable polychrome wall paintings. Their pottery was highly elaborate, including footed bowls and horn-shaped drinking goblets, indicating the cultivation of wine. Several samples display the use of sculptural decoration or of a reserved slip (a clay and water coating partially wiped away while still wet). The Ghassulians were a Chalcolithic culture as they also smelted copper. Ghassulian culture has been identified at numerous other places in what is today southern Israel, especially in the region of Beersheba.

From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.
