Description

This extraordinary flask no doubt served a ritual function in the days when Christianity had come into full flower, eclipsing the pagan world. It is remarkable that something so fragile should continue to flourish when far stronger monuments have fallen. It remains an enduring symbol of faith that survives and grows even more beautiful with the years. - (GF.0025)
