Glass bracelet stamped with Menorahs found in Israel

Archaeologists working in a late-Roman/early Byzantine refuse pit in Israel have uncovered a fragment from a glass bracelet.

A fragment from a glass bracelet inscribed with a seven- branched menorah from the Second Temple was discovered during Hanukka at an excavation in the Mount Carmel National Park, the Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday.

According to a statement from the Antiquities Authority, excavations took place there in recent weeks prior to the construction of a water reservoir for the city of Yokne’am, at the initiative of national water company Mekorot.
