A vase was shattered by a child in the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel. This urn is said to be historical, of Bronze Age. It was told by the museum that this urn is about 3500 years old, the child who had damaged this urn last week has now been called back by the museum people. In fact, the director of the museum, Dr. Inbal Rivlin, called the child with his entire family and asked to see the urn after it was restored.
According to the BBC, this vase was a wonderful and extraordinary object because it was so clean. This Kalash belonged to the Bronze Age between 2200 to 1500 BC, hence its importance among historians is even greater. When this urn broke after hitting the child, it was kept in an exhibition. A week later, the museum called the child and informed him and his family about the history of this urn. A video of this also went viral. In the video, the child is seen looking at the Kalash with his family. Along with this, an official of the museum is also seen giving information to the family about the entire process of restoration as well as the history of the urn.
The parents of Ariel (the child who broke the urn) stopped by later for an interview. Speaking to the media, he said that at the time of the incident the child had requested him to see the jar. As soon as his mother asked him to move away from the urn, it suddenly broke. The mother recalls that it happened in just a second. He said that the museum also gave us the opportunity to do some reassembly work on our own, we had tried to put together a small broken urn with the help of special equipment.
It was told by the museum that this urn is from the Canaan region, which is before the time of King Solomon and David. It was used at that time to store and transport local goods, mainly olive oil and wine.
