Ancient Vessels: Water Bird

The carved bird is a design from Greece, the 2nd Millennium, BCE. The sacred water bird was a part of myths in ancient cultures. She carried the Cosmic Egg, containing our Universe, and was a symbol of Gaia, the Giver of life, happiness and death. The women, dancing in an ancient regeneration ritual are enclosed in a seed form, symbolic of new life. Thus I made my piece into the seed form. Dancing hourglass-figures were portrayed on ancient vessels as engaged in rites for 3000 years. The Moon was a symbol of becoming.
This piece is 3.75 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter.
