Does anyone know anything about this vase? It's so weird I love it, and it reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on, --any help is appreciated!
This vase is a haunting image- it feels as though it was a part of the 1970's counterculture, an image of mother earth giving life or sustaining life to the plant that was growing inside it.
Weird Tales, King Tut, and 70's counterculture Mother Earth birthing... all very close,--it's like on the tip of my tongue-- and when I finally figure out what it is that's rattling around inside my head I'll report back. Thanks everyone :)
Whoa that is cool. It kind of reminds me of Margaret Brundage's Weird Tales cover (October, 1933). I dig it, but I don't know anything about it.
ReplyDeleteIf I put away my male gaze for a moment, it could be a weird king tut thing, complete with the head dress. The face looks a bit like tut.
ReplyDeleteI offer this as a 1% probability!
