EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient lintel, dating back to the 3rd century CE, is a remarkable relic from the Synagogue at Nabratein in Upper Galilee, Israel. Discovered during archaeological excavations, this ornamented lintel once adorned the niche that held the Torah scrolls in the synagogue. The lintel is intricately decorated with reliefs of two lions flanking a central motif, believed to represent the Ark of the Covenant. The lions, a common symbol of Judaism, are depicted with their paws resting on a shield, symbolizing strength and protection. This lintel is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the ancient Near East. The intricate details of the carvings and the durability of the stone have allowed this precious artifact to remain intact for over 1700 years. Today, the lintel is a proud addition to the collection of the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem, Israel, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars and visitors alike. The intricate design and historical significance of this lintel offer a glimpse into the vibrant and complex history of Jewish art and religious practices during the Second Temple period.
