| Description |
Created in the age of David and Solomon, this
graceful vessel must once have held a precious
fluid such as balm or perfume. From a flask such
as this Bathsheba might have poured scented oil
into her bath while being observed by king David.
Because of its elegant simplicity, free from all
unnecessary details, its appeal is timeless. We
can never know for certain through whose hands
it passed so long ago, but in its presence we are
directly in touch with the Biblical past.
