| Description |
Whose hand, we wonder, in the waning years of
Rome's greatness, grasped these slender handles
to sprinkle the scented water within upon the
world? Did that person admire, as we do, the
graceful swirling patterns of the glass, the
pleasing wholeness of its shape? This lovely
object becomes a direct link to that ancient life,
with whom we surely share--at the least--an
appreciation for exquisite beauty.
- (G.0102)
