I don't claim to be any sort of expert, but even using various search terms across different engines seems to return results that support your claim from dubious, homeopathic medicine websites, whereas peer reviewed articles are abundant that refute the claim. Searching for the bottles with the word "bible" tacked on return a single instance, in which the term itself was not used in Psalms, and the verse seems more metaphorical ("should I put my tears in a bottle? Are they not in your book?" is paraphrasing) and there seem to be no bottles attributed to tears that pre-date the first century or so
so as a fellow non-expert would you agree that a turkish art history professor in one of the most prestigious universities in turkey just possibly might be someone you'd consider an authority or what
also maybe the reason you're not finding good sources could be because you're using the exonym rather than the original terminologies; for example, the most famous glass tear-catcher bottles oof the middle east are from Isfahan and are called ashkdan.
so like. forgive me. and with all due respect. don't try and tell me my business
#>comes into the savafid dynastic special interest autism blog#>doesn't know shit abt incredibly famous mythic history of the ashkdan#>decides because some white people have appropriated the term the concept must have originally been from white people#i Literally Said that the unguentaries aren't lacrymatories right there#like sorry it's 1am and i'm irritated right now because this is the precise intersection of several of my fields.
