1878 Wood Engraving Vase Animal Forms Dali Cyprus Artifact Archaeology XGS3 XASA5 and placed in this shrineThis is an original 1878 black and white wood engraving of ancient vessels from Dali, Cyprus, which were shaped into surprisingly cute animal forms. Cyprus is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The first known settlers of the island are known to be from 10,00 BCE which has been supported by ancient artifacts found in villages from the Neolithic era. In these same areas some of the oldest water wells in the world have been found.
