| Description |
The graceful from and restrained
linear
decoration of this vessel make it as
appealing to
the modern eye as it no doubt was
to the ancient
age that created it. Looking at its
elegant
contours, we do not doubt that its
now-vanished
contents--probably olive oil or
wine--were of
the finest quality. Today, its
timeless beauty
holds only the seductive fragrance
of
imagination. One whiff sends us
traveling
backward through time into a
mysterious, long-
vanished world.
