The daringly-looped handle on this fabulous jug seems to defy the ravages of time. The graceful beauty of this vessel has endured when empires and monuments of stone have crumbled. It is as if the artist who created it, when Rome ruled the world, was aware that it would reach radiant perfection only centuries later.
