Father of boy who smashed 3,500-year-old jar describes aftermath

The mortified father of a four-year-old boy who accidentally smashed a 3,500-year-old jar in a museum has shed light on the 'shocking' aftermath.

Earlier this week, a rare bronze age jar dating back between 2200 and 1500BC was knocked over at the Hecht Museum in Haifa.

The item was one of many displayed without glass protecting, as the museum's curators believe there is a 'special charm' in showing archaeological finds 'without obstructions'.
