there is a vibrant market for antique ossuaries. i didn t see anything particular in this ossuary. it was set for many times at my parents apartment, together with several other ossuaries i purchased at that time, because i didn t put any special attention to this ossuary. but in april 2002, golan invites andre le marr to examine some items in his collection. le mare s attention is immediately drawn to the unidentified ossuary golan bought 30 years before. he deciphers the mysterious inscription. it reads james, son of joses, brother of jesus. he found that there is a very high probability that it belonged to james, the brother of jesus christ.
