| Description |
The graceful form and restrained linear
decoration of this vessel make it as appealing
to the modern eyes as it no doubt was to the
ancient age that created it. Looking at its
elegant contours, we do not question that its
now-vanished contents--probably olive oil or
wine--were of the finest quality. Today, its
timeless beauty holds only the seductive
perfume of imagination. One whiff sends us
traveling backward through time into a
mysterious, long-vanished world.
