Etrog Ossuary

Materials: Clay

Sukkot is a fall festival that lasts eight days. Each day there is a ceremony when we hold a citron (etrog in Hebrew). After the holiday the citron can be left to dry. If one saves them from year to year, one has a collection of the "dried bones" of Sukkot past. An ossuary is a box for bones.
