Bronze Pyxis
Comment
The diameter of the pyxis is 7.5 cm and the height including the lid is 9 cm. Photograph: Israel Museum.
'The pyxis is of bronze and has acquired a beautiful greenish-blue patina...
The cover of the pyxis has a pierced handle. The workmanship is excellent, and the cover fits perfectly, which probably accounts for the good preservation of the coins. The pyxis rests on a moulded ring base at the circumference, and the bottom is reinforced by a sort of metal stud riveted to the centre.' (Reifenberg 1945, 83)
