About this jug
Location:
Oudebosweg, 8251 Dronten,
Netherlands
Long/Lat:
52.542487, 5.814237
Notes: The bartmann jug was found in Oostelijk Flevoland. Before the closure of the Afsluitdijk in 1932, this area was an inland sea called the Zuiderzee.
Many ships sank, but were preserved in the soft soil. Since the construction of the Flevoland polders in the mid-20th century, more than 400 shipwrecks have been discovered and investigated. The large number of shipwrecks in the soil makes Flevoland the largest “dry” ship graveyard in the world.

Feature description: The bartmann jug is a misfire: large part of the mask came loose before firing, leaving only the eyes and a small section of the beard on the mask. Despite this, the misfire was exported and ended up in the Netherlands. The Bartmann jug was made in Cologne.
