MAITUM JAR
A new lease on lifethat was what these Metal Age
artifacts were given when
discovered in 1991 inside
Ayub Cave in Maitum.
These anthropomorphic
secondary burial jars were crafted
between 5 BC to 225 AD.
Made of clay, they are distinguished
by designs that suggest human
forms and facial expressions.
Some of the jars are decorated
with glass beads, shell scoops,
spoons, and pendants.
