Rich content hidden within simple scene
The merging of the human soul with the Divine soul has been depicted in various ways. On this ancient Greek funerary vessel, there is a stand supported by lion-paw feet, which serves as a reference to the constellation Leo, where the rebirth of the human soul begins in the heavens. Large vessel rests on the stand, with a smaller pitcher placed upon it. Beside the large vessel sit two birds, while a larger bird flies above. The two birds represent the two souls: one belonging to the human, the other to God. The human soul pours from the small pitcher into the large vessel of the Divine soul; the two souls merge into one indivisible soul, symbolized by the large bird. Next to the stand with the vessels stand two naked men. The man on the left plays a flute that splits into two parts at the end, while the other man holds a bull’s horn in his right hand and a round, flat bowl in his left. The double flute illustrates how a single breath is divided into two parts, demonstrating that one soul is composed of two. The rebirth process lasts for nine months and concludes in the constellation Taurus; this is indicated by the bull’s horn, into which the united soul from the large vessel is poured. Such is the profound and rich content hidden within this seemingly simple scene.
