And it’s all because of this, a little pot with a pair of
eyes and a moustache moulded onto it, though you could be forgiven for thinking
that it might be a penguin. Perhaps it was an offering to a small god. Its belly
could be an angel with wings or a warrior preparing to fight. Perhaps it was
crafted in memory of someone like a servant. Or maybe it’s a new range
commissioned for the gift shop. It seems crazy that someone would purposefully
make this to display, unless something went wrong and they just got creative. It
might have been perched on a cork base, or one was provided and it’s hidden by
the cloth. Its shiny glaze doesn’t make it scream an ancient relic but you
never know. It’s too small for a water vessel, though it might have been used
to store something stronger. There’s even a rim that could be a hat.
