The daringly-looped handle on this fabulous jug
seems to defy the ravages of time. The graceful
beauty of this vessel has endured when empires
and monuments of stone have crumbled. It is as
if the artist who created it, when Rome ruled the
world, was aware that it would reach radiant
perfection only centuries later.
