Here is a beautiful early original, found in the Cave of Letters in the Judaen desert (Israel). IIRC it dates from the Bar Kochba Rebellion. Of course, I don't want anything this ornate (or early), I particularly like the simple yet elegant reconstruction in the photo above, but I thought you might all enjoy seeing this example as well.<br>
