Phoenician Terracotta Ewer - PF.2206
*CLICK ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE" It is astonishing that the simple beauty of this ewer is as appealing to modern sensibilities as it no doubt was to ancient ones. When the trading empire of the Phoenicians was at its height, such a vessel might have contained oil or wine. As we grip its elegant handle today, we recognize that our gestures echo those of its ancient owners. Though centuries have passed, what dreams and emotions might we share in common with those vanished lives? As our hands rest where theirs did, we are connected in an intimate way with their vanished world. - (PF.2206) |
