Description
The decomposing leather covering of an old glass flask was held in place by a piece of rope. To me it was a piece of abstract art with fascinating textures and lines disguising itself as an historical artifact.The flask was used to hold whiskey during the American Civil War, 1861 - 1865. The artifact is in the Elgin History Museum collection. This image is included in the Art in Artifacts exhibit.
