In antiquity, there was a thriving trade between the peoples of Cyprus and Palestine. This charming vessel was perhaps exported from "the island of copper" carrying oil or wine. The bold, abstract geometry that decorates it seems to convey the lively spirit of the people through whose hands it passed so long ago. We remember that these were individuals who laughed and sang, talked, argued and loved. In appearance they were similar to us, though their vision of the world was vastly different. This pot links us directly to that ancient world. Our hands rest where other hands did in Biblical times; the energy, the bond, is there to be felt. - (P.0096) « Less

Seljuk Bronze Incense Burner - AMD.122, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 1100 AD, Dimensions: 6.5" (16.5cm) high x 8.5" (21.6cm) wide, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Seljuk, Medium: Bronze. This type of incense burner, known as the western example, was already known in the Coptic and early Islamic periods. It reveals the most important characteristics of these western types. The cylindrical body and the domical lid have extensive openwork decoration, which appear to be one of their dominant features. The handle is left undecorated. « Less

Since the dawn of time--on the walls of caves, in temple precincts, in sculpture and painting-- mankind has paid homage to the strength and nobility of the bull. It was worshiped as a sacred animal in Egypt, in Crete, and elsewhere. Throughout antiquity it was considered the ultimate offering to the gods. This powerful clay votive, crafted on Cyprus and exported to Palestine, captures the proud, muscular essence of the animal. We wonder if the gods granted the wishes of the person who sought their favor with this regal gift. - (P.0458) « Less

What function did this intriguing vessel serve in Biblical times? Was it a baby's bottle? A receptacle for some precious liquid--fine oil or perfume--to be measured drop by drop? A container for medicine, the property of some ancient healer? Beautifully painted in a lively geometric style, with holes so that it may be suspended from threads, and with a handle for pouring, it keeps its ancient secrets to itself. We do not know who might have touched it so long ago, or what comfort it brought to their lives; yet when we handle it today, the energy of its past experience flows through us and we become part of its history. - (P.0499) « Less

In antiquity, there was a thriving trade between the island of Cyprus and the coast of Palestine. The graceful curving form of this vessel seems to convey the lively spirit of the people through whose hands it passed so long ago. We remember that these were individuals who laughed and sang, talked, argued and loved. In appearance they were similar to us, though their vision of the world was vastly different. This charming bilbil--which perhaps held oil, wine or medicinal opium--links us directly to that ancient world. Our hands rest where other hands did in Biblical times; the energy, the bond, is there to be felt. - (P.2784) « Less

This lovely pot was probably made on Cyprus before it was exported to ancient Israel filled with fine oil. The patriarchs and High Priests of the Old Testament might have used such a vessel when ritually anointing objects and people. As we place our fingers where those ancient ones lay centuries ago, we are linked directly to that distant time and place. - (PF.0125) « Less
