The ossuary is not quite rectangular, like most burial boxes found so far, but trapezoid in shape. It is about 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches high. The image on top shows the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus".

It says "...son of Joseph,.." but it doesn't say "son of Mary." How can people say conclusively that he was son of Mary? It is possible that Joseph was married once before Mary.
