James Ossuary going on display

BACK IN ODED GOLAN'S HANDS: Public will be able to see limestone box that may have been casket for Jesus’ brother. Ancient burial box is inscribed 'James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus' (Matthew Kalman, New York Daily News).

The stone burial box bearing the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" has been hidden from public view at the Israel Antiquities Authority since 2003.

But now it has been released to be displayed around the world, following a 10-year legal battle in which Israeli authorities failed to show that collector Oded Golan faked the ancient Aramaic lettering on the box.
