Someone formed this vessel, fired it in a kiln, and used it in the hill country of Ephraim thousands of years ago. The break is ancient. The clay is original. The hand behind it was real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason the earliest fragments are the most prized. The deeper an excavation goes, the less survives; clay that has endured three thousand years of conquest, fire, and rebuilding is far scarcer than the pottery of later centuries.

For 369 years, according to the Talmud (Zevachim 118b), the Tabernacle stood at Shiloh. It was here that Hannah prayed for a son and dedicated Samuel to God: \"For this child I prayed\" (1 Samuel 1:27).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePottery from these centuries belongs to the world of the Judges and the kings of Israel and Judah. When Jeremiah wanted to shake Jerusalem awake, he pointed to this very place: \"Go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first\" (Jeremiah 7:12). This shard comes from those layers of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach shard is individually selected and documented.
