One thing that appeals to me about ancient art, is that it was not only an object of beauty. They didn't just sit back and say 'how pretty' .. they used these beautiful objects. The objects had a purpose in their lives and a great deal of meaning. They were cherished.
There has been recent research into the method of making these whistles, and several possible uses postulated. It's an interesting story to follow.

wow, that's extremely interesting, thank you for posting it! I also like how ancient art was functional, that's something alot of artists today have forgotten. Very enlightening! _________________ Love your gift and it will love you back! |
