Description<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Certain archaeologists have interpreted this type of object as a cult-related item that would have been placed in a temple, but the archaeologist at Tell Halula believes that, given the object’s size and the context in which it was found, it is more likely to have been a form used for making shoes. It is an eloquent reminder of the applications of leather obtained by tanning animal skins.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>
