Antique Judaica Wine/ Water Ceramic Large Jug with Allegorical Images
Located in Doha, QA
This remarkable antique ceramic jug, likely from the late 18th century stands as a testament to symbolic craftsmanship and cultural interweaving. Its white-glazed body, adorned with intricate blue hand-painted motifs, showcases a rich tapestry of imagery: two armored knights flank a central coat of arms crowned by a noble eagle, evoking themes of protection, authority, and divine oversight. A sphinx, emblematic of riddles and ancient wisdom, is also depicted- a nod to the Jewish people’s historical sojourn in Egypt and the enduring significance of that epoch in Jewish memory. A goat as representative of the Devil to make Adam and Eve to sin and take a forbidden fruit in Paradise. Clusters of various fruits embellish the design, symbolizing abundance and the promise of the land.
Prominently featured are two Stars of David, affirming a deep connection to Jewish identity and heritage. The jug’s sculpted handle, fashioned as a coiled snake descending toward a human face-possibly representing Adam-recalls the Genesis narrative of the fall, the serpent, and the origins of humanity. This interplay of symbols suggests a narrative arc of struggle, survival, and spiritual endurance, potentially representing the journey of the Jewish people from Eden through exile and beyond.
The jug’s substantial capacity-holding up to five liters of liquid-indicates its intended use for wine or water, both integral to daily life and ritual. Its distinctive shape, featuring a wavy, ornamental opening, hints at Mediterranean origins, likely Spain or Italy, where such design elements were prevalent in ceramic art of the period. This stylistic attribute, coupled with the painted date of 1527, adds another layer to its historical context.
The year 1527 holds significance in Jewish history. In that year, Hayyim ben David Schwartz, a notable Jewish printer, obtained permission to print Hebrew books...

Antique Native American Painting Sitting Bull ( 1831-1890) by A.Champollion
By Champollion
Located in Doha, QA
Andre Champollion, the grandson of J.F. Champollion, who deciphered the Rosetta Stone, was born in Paris, France September 20, 1880. He attended and graduated from Harvard University in 1902 and lived in New York City. He was called to enlist in the French army during World War I and was killed in action on March 23, 1914.
After Andre graduated from Harvard, he spent the following year traveling the globe. Most of his work was influenced by the places he traveled to, the people he met, and the cultures he experienced. Most of his collection was donated to Harvard University by Andre’s wife, Adelaide Bramwell in 1931. This collection of sketches, drawings, paintings, notebooks, and photographs currently resides at the Peabody Museum. Andre Champollion’s painting of Sitting Bull is one of his greatest masterpieces.
Sitting Bull is an iconic Native American figure known throughout the world for his resistance against the United States Army and uniting the Sioux tribes. His first battle against the US army was in 1863, and again in 1864, each interaction convinced Sitting Bull to never sign a treaty that would force his people onto a reservation. Unfortunately, his chief signed a treaty for the Great Sioux Reservation in 1868.
In 1874, gold was discovered within the borders of their reservation. The US government redrew the reservation lines to force the Native Americans to move 240 miles in the middle of winter. Sitting Bull refused and with the help of the Arapaho, Cheyenne and Sioux tribes, they faced off against General George Crook on June 17, 1876, winning the battle. Sitting Bull’s most famous battle victory was June 25, 1876, against General George Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Three thousand Native Americans against six hundred military men.
However, in May 1877, Sitting Bull moved his people to Canada to escape the US government and starvation due to the decreasing buffalo population that his tribe relied on. Despite the move, resources became scarce and Sitting Bull surrendered to the US Army on July 20, 1881 in exchange for pardons for his people. He was a prisoner of war at Fort Randall in South Dakota for two years until he was moved to Standing Rock Reservation.

There are three scrolls made up of additional love letters, sealed with red wax from the 19th century scattered around two antique books. The open book on the left, was written during the time of the 30 Year War, 1618-1648 in France, when the Treaty of Westphalia changed the map of Europe.
