Niche, #2162
A piece of rubble  that is believed to have come from the southwest corner of the Second Temple. It has been identified as a niche or platform where a high priest would stand and blow on the shofar  to call to worship the royalty and  the wealthy who lived on the hill to the west of the temple.
