In an unfortunate incident at the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel, a 3,500-year-old jar was accidentally broken by a young boy.
The Bronze Age artifact, dating back to between 2200 and 1500 BC, was a rare and remarkably intact specimen from the Canaan region. Originating from a time predating the Biblical kings David and Solomon, the jar was likely used for storing local commodities such as wine and olive oil. Its intact condition made it an “impressive find,” as similar pottery pieces are often unearthed in fragments during archaeological excavations.
The incident occurred when a child, estimated to be four or five years old, visited the museum with his family. The jar was displayed near the entrance without protective glass, as the museum believes there is “special charm” in showing archaeological finds “without obstructions”.
Lihi Laszlo, a representative from the Hecht Museum, noted that the damage was accidental and would be treated accordingly. “There are instances where display items are intentionally damaged, and such cases are treated with great severity, including involving the police,” Laszlo explained. “In this case, however, this was not the situation.”
In response to the incident, the museum has appointed a conservation specialist to restore the jar, with plans to return it to its display spot “in a short time.” Despite this rare occurrence, the museum intends to continue its tradition of barrier-free exhibitions wherever possible.
The Hecht Museum, located within the University of Haifa campus, is known for its collection of archaeological and art artifacts. In a gesture of goodwill and educational outreach, the museum has invited the boy and his family back for an organised tour of the exhibition.
