| Description |
On any given day, any one of us might
pick up a cup, glass, or mug and hold it
in our hands, drink from it, and make it
a momentary part of our lives. The same
was no doubt true for this elegant
drinking cup, called a skyphos, except
that the last person to hold it before
the modern age lived during the
flowering of the Classical world. As we
place it in our own fingers where theirs
once rested, we are in direct touch—if
only for a moment—with another life in a
world only our imaginations can see.
