I have had this extraordinary piece of antiquity in my home for the past 18 years and immensely enjoyed the experience of being connected to a 4,000 year old expression of humanity.  It is a daunting thought that approximately 200 generations of people have come and gone since some artisan undertook to make this item.  I am selling it because I really do not have an adequate environment in which to display or protect it in the manner that it demands and deserves.
