| Description |
This sturdy, simple vessel may once have held an
offering of food or grain. To the vanished age
that created it, it was perhaps an unremarkable
vessel, notable more for its contents than its
beauty. Yet, the passage of time has graced it
with qualities it did not originally possess: it
serves as a bridge to the past. We wonder whose
hands crafted it, whose once grasped its handle
and ate from its contents? As our fingers rest
where theirs did so long ago, we recognize that
the jug radiates still with the energetic glow of
those ancient lives.
- (P.2919)
