For the month of March, I'm sharing some of my favorite things at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL.

| Not easy to find, the owl |
Thus I learn a lot about women's activities...hauling water in artistic vessels, having fans for cooling oneself, and a vessel especially for ritual libations. (I wonder whether they were wine or not.) And a kalathos was a basket for wool. I loved reading there might have been a mystery cult associated with "the distant city of Athens"...with the owl as its symbol!
I apologize for not getting the date and place for this piece. Maybe I should go back just to see it!
Today's Quote:
Hope
is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty
that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out.
