Acoustic jar information


Resonance amphora embedded in the wall of the church of the Chartreuse Notre-Dame-du-Val-de-Bénédiction [fr], Villeneuve-lès-Avignon.

An acoustic jar, also known by the Greek name echea (ηχεία, literally echoers), or sounding vases, are ceramic vessels found set into the walls, ceilings, and sometimes floors, of medieval churches. They are believed to have been intended to improve the sound of singing,[1][2] and to have been inspired by the theories of Vitruvius. They were supposedly used in ancient Greek theaters to enhance the voices of performers, though no archaeological evidence has been found.
