A "tear gathering jar," also known as a lachrymatory or tear bottle, is a small vessel that was traditionally used to collect and store tears, especially during periods of mourning or grief. These jars were often placed in tombs or burial sites as a symbol of love, respect, and devotion for the deceased. The practice of using tear bottles dates back to ancient times, with examples found in Middle Eastern cultures, ancient Rome, and later during the Victorian era. In Psalm 56:8, David prays, "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. They could have also been given to celebrate joyful occasions like births, graduations, and weddings, symbolizing the shared tears of happiness and love. Exact age unknown but of ancient age.
