“I see you’ve a sharp tongue with an even sharper blade, Mr. Dekarios.”

Vasa never expected to find both a lover & a sparing partner when she pulled a certain bladesinging wizard out of a stone.

Askos, 200–1 BCE, Greece, Ptolemaic Dynasty,

This miniature vessel was carved from a single piece of banded agate, polished to a shine, and embellished with a gold lid and gold details on the base. Inside the ring of gold at the base is a trio of gold papyrus stalks, a likely reference to Egypt.

In shape, it resembles an ancient wineskin, or askos, though its small size suggests use for luxury perfumes or oils. A tiny crab, likely once inlaid with a precious material, has been carved behind the handle.

Agate and gold, 6.5 cm.
