| Description |
Created in the age of David and Solomon, this
simple but charming vessel glows with the rich
patina of history. Who can say through whose
hands it might have passed centuries ago? It was
perhaps from such a jug that Samuel anointed
Saul king of Israel. Whatever its past, we are
aware that it was crafted by ancient hands, held
and used by people who lived in a time and place
much different from our own. The energy of
those vanished lives clings to it still and sets our
imaginations stirring.
