Description: A nice bronze fishing hook found in the Holyland. Many of Jesus's disciples were fisherman and would have used hooks such as these in addition to their nets. In Matthew 17:24-27 Jesus tells Peter to go to the sea and cast in a hook. In the fishes mouth was the coin needed to pay the tribute.
