I see people liking that Marwa built the mancave for herself but is no one going to mention how fucking smart she is. She's had her entire being scrambled by the wishes yet she still somehow noticed that she wasn't herself and that it's nandors fault and devised a plan to lock herself in an isolated soundproof room so she can feel less of an effect from the wishes... Like at least that's my theory cause this was super cunning the way she pulled this. And like nandor isn't likely to want her to exit so she won't feel the need and this way she can probably think more like herself...
This absolute beauty finally arrived yesterday. For those who have read my post about weddings rites in Athens, this is my lebes gamikos aka the ritual vase I will be using for my own wedding later this year.
I have yet to figure out exactly how to reconstruct this ritual in a modern setting etc but the point remains this is going to be a piece of family heirloom and I'm beyond attached to it.
I'm very very grateful to the potter, Roberto Paolini for putting so much work and effort into this piece and customising it for the occasion in accordance with the motifs and themes that are commonly found on ancient lebes.
One side represents a bride with a crown with a dove/pigeon, and the other represents Eros/an Erotes carrying wedding necessities like the wreath.
