SCULPTED CERAMIC JUGS

ALL HANDMADE COIL POTS

ARKHENATEN’S ROLLING STONE

KING TUT’S SENSE OF GAZA

There is a missing jug in this triptych, Nerfertiti, after the ravishing bust in Berlin. But they all celebrate the I8th dynasty and that Armarna Period when a monotheistic faith was established, in the worship of the Sun in the form of Ra. That saw an astonishing realism and humanism in Egyptian Art. Ended perhaps with the boy King Tutankhamun and a rerun to a cult of power and gold.

THE SHAKESPEARE TEMPEST JUG

THE LITTLE PRINCE JUG

THE OMAR KHAYYAM JUG

Inspired by the illustration for the celebrated 19th century translation of the Rubaayat by Edward Fitzgerald – “Awake, for morning in the bowl of night hath flung the stone that sets the stars to flight, and lo, the hunter of the East has caught the sultan’s turret in a noose of light.”
