Skyphos

8 1/2"H x 8" D, 545 peces, Ebony, Holly, Veneer
My inspiration for this piece came from a piece of Phoenician pottery from about the 7^th century, BC.  Skyphos were  drinking vessels, especially used for drinking wine.  My piece is twice the normal size of such a vessel.  This period of Greek/Phoenician pottery was dubbed  “Geometric”, as the decoration on the pieces were largely geometric designs.
