Perhaps this delightfully simple vessel once
belonged among the perfumes and cosmetics of
a fashionable beauty of the Roman era. With
slender fingers, she would have applied its
soothing contents to her soft skin. Today, the
empty jar seems radiant with the memory of the
loveliness it witnessed long ago, so much so that
it has become a rare treasure itself.
