| Description |
The speckled markings on this charming vessel
suggest a trout, though this abstract fish
perhaps swims only in the rivers of the
imagination. The people who created such a
lively art must have been very attuned to the
world around them, to both its subtle wonders
and to its larger patterns. Even after all these
centuries, a benevolent magic lingers.
