A 9,000 Year Old Stone Mask Is Revealed, Jerusalem

Ronit Lupu of the Israeli Antiquities Authority Antiquities Theft Prevention Unit, holds a rare 9,000 year old stone mask that was uncovered in the south Hebron hills, at the Rockefeller Archeology Museum in East Jerusalem, November 28, 2018. The mask dates to the Neolithic B Period and strengthens the theory that a stone mask production center was located in the south Hebron hills during the New Stone Age. The Israeli Antiquities Authority and Geological Survey of Israel are studying the mask and say it was most likely used for ritual activities. Photo by Debbie Hill /UPI
