Red Shaved Ware, characterized by its fine red slip and clean-shaven surfaces, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Late Bronze Age potters. These ceramics are often found in archaeological sites across the Levant, including modern-day Israel, Jordan, and Syria. The prevalence of Red Shaved Ware in domestic and funerary contexts suggests its role in the daily life and afterlife beliefs of ancient societies.
