| Description |
The subtle, textured geometry of this vessel's
surface was perhaps designed so that it could be
gripped better in the hand. Its perfumed
contents could then be shaken out through the
tiny neck hole as a benediction at festivals and
ceremonies. Centuries have passed, time has
added character to the surface, and yet one can
still perceive the faint glow of that ancient hand
upon it...
- (G.0090)
