A bronze bracelet discovered in archaeological excavations in Ramat Razim, near Safed in northern Israel. The bracelet from the late Bronze-Age period is about 3,500 years old and is extraordinarilly well preserved, adorned with horns representing power, fertility and the law. The person who could afford such a bracelet was apparently very well off financially, and it probably belonged to the village ruler. EPA/CLARA AMIT.

horns representing power, fertility and the law

How do they know? We have penguin bric-a-brac at my house, but it doesn't represent anything.

We also learn from these valuable finds that the residents of the building were also engaged in barter.

How do we know they didn't use currency?

This is just my humble opinion but the thing in the center looks a lot like the Jewish Brazen Alter and the things on the sides could be Noah's ark??? I looked up the Brazen Alter just now and it looks pretty much like that center decoration.
