It was many and
many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea that a civilization once there lived
who were known as "The Sea People."
The Minoan Culture was a civilization on the Island of ancient Crete
that flourished circa 2700 to 1450 B.C.
They were a maritime and mercantile society that traded their fine
ceramic art throughout the coastal Mediterranean Sea. A series of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,
and the resulting Tsunami is believed to have resulted in their extinction
around circa 1600 B.C. Today they are best known for the fantastic art and
refined culture they brought to early Europe. Up for your consideration is a
replication of a small vessel that we have aptly named "Minoan Octopus
Bowl" for lack of a more defining description. Starling Black Studio attempts to recreate
realistic looking replications of actual artifacts. This vessel depicts a
maritime scene which features an octopus in all its glory. Our vessels are handmade. None of the work is
perfectly symmetrical and you will find that the surfaces are not exceptionally
smooth with abrasions and excoriations.
This vessel appears more grown than manufactured. It was aged using our
propriety techniques. If you enjoy the art of ancient cultures and have a love
for archeology, then I believe you will agree that "Minoan Octopus
Bowl" is a great representation of the art once created by the Minoan
Culture. Thank you for looking.
