Grey Glass Bottle - GF.0105, Origin: Jericho, Israel, Circa: 700 AD to 900 AD, Dimensions: 3.5" (8.9cm) high, Collection: Near Eastern, Style: Islamic, Medium: Glass. Surely this lovely bottle--decorated with abstract flowers--must once itself have held perfume from are blossoms. The scent of those ancient blooms has faded, along with the world that created this exquisite treasure, but if we hold the bottle to our nose and let our mind float free, we are transported into a past whose beauty is unfaded and eternal.
