As with a great symphony, all the elements of
this splendid vase are woven into a harmonious
whole. What could be added or taken away that
would not interfere with its perfection? Even the
shimmering patina--a happy accident of time
and circumstance--seems as if deliberately
planned by the artisan who created the vessel in
the twilight of the classical world.
