| Description |
In antiquity, there was a thriving trade between
the island of Cyprus and the coast of Palestine.
The graceful curving form of this vessel seems to
convey the lively spirit of the 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
charming bilbil--which perhaps held oil, wine or
medicinal opium--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.
