About this jug
Location:
Enserweg, 8307 Ens,

Long/Lat:
52.628001, 5.84
Notes: The bartmann jug was found in the Noordoostpolder. 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: Large restored Bartmann jug decorated with three medallions featuring heraldic motifs and a rosette. Round body, short, narrow neck with a large mask and a twisted handle. The two intact medallions (centre and side) are different. The third (reconstructed) may also have been different from the rest or the same as the appliqué on the side for symmetry.
