| Description |
Who held this delicate vessel so long
ago during the sunset of the Classical
world? Did it sit perhaps among the
cosmetics of a beautiful lady, who might
have applied the dark kohl or ground
malachite once held within to her
eyelids? Today, this rare jar holds
only the power to intrigue us, to take
our imaginations on voyages to places
that have long since vanished into the
shadows of time.
