IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS STUNNINGAND EXTRAORDINARY POT WAS ORDERED BY A
VERY WEALTHY JEWISH FAMILYFROM AN VERY SKILLED CRAFTSMAN .

THE TOP SIDE DIAMETER IS 37 - 38 C"M AND THE BOTTOM DIAMETERIS 33 C"M .
THE POT'S HEIGHT IS 28 C"M WITH THE LEGS ( 25 C"M WITHOUT THE LEGS ) .
TWO VERY LARGE AND HIGH QUALITY COPPER RELIEFS ARE ATTACHED TO THE POT.

BROTHERS ,AND THE SECOND ONE DESCRIBES JACOB AND HIS SONS WHILE THEY ARE
SHOWING HIM JOSEPH'S CLOAK .
TWO LARGE LION HEADS ATTACHED TO THE POT AND USED ASHANDLES .
AS YOU CAN SEE ON PICTURE 6 , ONE OF THE POT'S LEGS WAS UNPROFESSIONALY
REPAIRED . THE OTHER TWO LEGS ALSO SHOWS SIGNS OF OLD REPAIRS .
IT LOOK'S LIKE THAT AT SOME TIME THE POT'S LEGS SOLDERING MELTED BECAUSE OF
THE DIRECT FIRE.ALL THE 3 LEGSSHOWS TYPICALSIGNS OF DISINTEGRATION
BECAUSEOF THE DIRECT FIRETHAT THEY SUFFERED .
AS IT CAN CLEARLY SEEN , THE EXTERNAL SURFACE OF THE BOTTOM SHOWS CLEAR
SIGNS OF HEAT \ FIRE !!!
THE SOLDERING OF THE RIGHTSIDEOF THERELIEF WITH THE SELLING SCENE WAS
MELTED ALSO BECAUSE OF THE HEAT , THEREFORE THE RELIEF RIGHT SIDE IS LOOSE .

LATER TIME , BUT ORIGINALLY ,THIS POT WAS PRODUCED ONLYFOR THE PURPOSE OF
BOILING WATERFOR KOSHERING DISHES FOR Passover, ANDIT WAS USEDAS SO ONCE
