Hebrew Pottery
Archaeologists can distinguish a vessel’s cultural source by small variations in the shape of a handle, lip, or base. Nineteenth-century archaeologist Flinders Petrie identified the vessels shown here as Hebrew both from the strata in which they were found, at Tell el-Hesi near Beersheba, and from details of their construction. David, portraying the worldwide power God’s [Son] would have, said that the Eternal King would shatter resistant nations like a man shatters a clay vessel with an iron rod (Psalm 2:8–9, Rev 2:26–27).
