Child Shatters 3,500-Year-Old Vase at Israeli Museum
Briefly

The fragmented Canaanite jar, dating back to 2200-1500 BCE, is a priceless anomaly, as most similar artifacts are unearthed broken or incomplete, indicating its rarity.
Museum officials are set to restore the jar, with Roy Shafir from the University of Haifa leading the restoration process, highlighting the jar's archaeological significance.
The director of the museum invited the young boy back to view the jar post-restoration, creating a unique connection between a child and a historical artifact.
The jar, originally found in a tomb in the Occupied West Bank, illustrates the tumultuous history of the region, especially in light of recent violence against Bedouins.
