Dated Tub?

Our Christmas visit to the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University left me with a bathtub memory. This Minoan tub is about 3500 years old.

It's a bit smaller than our modern tubs but no less beautiful and obviously build to last.

Historians believe such an ancient tub might have been used as a coffin - as a Larnax. It's portable, with 4 sturdy handles.

Have you seen anything like it in modern homes, anything more beautiful?
