Abstract
The complex system of reciprocal international relations in the Late Bronze Age (14th and 13th centuries BC) Eastern Mediterranean, comprised of several levels of diplomatic and commercial interactions between the various palatial polities participating in this system. These relations are reflected in the textual sources and iconographic records of the period. Value-laden luxury objects were the tangible means through which this system operated, and their contextual analysis forms the basis for reconstructing and interpreting its dynamics. A faience cup found at the royal precinct of Canaanite Hazor is discussed, in an attempt to assess the role of the Levantine kingdoms within the context of the Late Bronze Age 'koiné'.
