Found in cemetery at Kato Mili on the island of Pano Koufonisi (Small Cyclades, Mikres Kyklades). Early cycladic II period, 2800-2500 BC. Naxos Archaeological Museum.
From Easton: Pan, a vessel of metal or earthenware used in culinary operations; a cooking-pan or frying-pan frequently referred to in the Old Testament (Leviticus 2:5; Leviticus 6:21; Numbers 11:8; 1 Samuel 2:14, etc.).
The "ash-pans" mentioned in Exodus 27:3 were made of copper, and were used in connection with the altar of burnt-offering. The "iron pan" mentioned in Ezekiel 4:3 (marg., "flat plate " or "slice") was probably a mere plate of iron used for baking. The "fire-pans" of Exodus 27:3 were fire-shovels used for taking up coals. The same Hebrew word is rendered "snuff-dishes" (25:38; 37:23) and "censers" (Leviticus 10:1; Leviticus 16:12; Numbers 4:14, etc.). These were probably simply metal vessels employed for carrying burning embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense.
The "frying-pan" mentioned in Leviticus 2:7; Leviticus 7:9 was a pot for boiling.
