| Description |
The bold, abstract geometry that
decorates this charming vessel seems to
convey the lively spirit of the ancient
people through whose hands it passed so
long ago. We remember that these were
individuals who laughed and sang,
talked, argued and loved. In appearance
they were similar to us, though their
vision of the world was vastly
different. This pot--which perhaps held
ritual oil or wine--links us directly to
that ancient world. Our hands rest where
other hands did in Biblical times; the
energy, the bond, is there to be felt.
