| Description |
This sturdy, simple vessel may once have
held an offering of food. To the
vanished age that created it, it was
perhaps an unremarkable pot, 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 once grasped
its handles--perhaps Jacob's as he
cooked his lentil stew--and we recognize
that it radiates with the energetic
touch of those ancient lives.
