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

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." From.

Nice line up Jane.

I dug one of those little jugs last year, thought it was from a doll house or something like that. Thanks for the info and good luck.
