Summary

In early June 1902, John Peters and Hermann Thiersch were alerted to the discovery of two painted burial caves at Marisa, less than 40 miles southwest from Jerusalem. This new study of the paintings by David Jacobson includes high quality reproductions of the original photographic plates in the PEF collections.
