Dating from the time of the Crusades,
this
superb example of medieval Islamic
glazed
pottery is the bright blue of the desert
sky. We
can never know for certain who held it
so long
ago, but there is no mistaking that it
serves as a
key to unlock the door leading to the
splendors
of the past. To gaze upon it is to set
the
imagination on a never-ending journey.
