Jaffa, Israel - Old Jaffa Visitor Center
<p>Door from Burial Cave
This stone door was used to seal the entrance to a jewish
burial cave. It is hewn from sandstone and was uncovered,
in secondary use, in the excavations of Tanhum Street. Two
incised, diagonal lines are discernable on the stone surface
and an incised menorah is visible in the upper section with
a groove, probably carved to fit the locking mechanism,
seen in the middle. This door likely originated from the
jewish cemetery discovered at Abu Kabir where dozens
of burial caves dating to the Late Roman and Byzantine
</p>
periods were discovered.
