Antique From Old Damascus
 Reposes in Toledo
By ,NE.A Seryice.

bl \ LA SefNlC3.
 Toledo. O. March Many cen turies ago when the sWarthy Noors ruled in Spain. an Emir in flowing robes took to old Valencia a. prizel wine flask, made of colored glass and precious stones by the skilled glass workers Of Damascus.
 Today that same flask, as bright and colorful now as when it was made, occupies a case in the Toledo Museum of Art It has just been bought for a price slightly more than s95,o00--a price that depended as much on its colorful history as on it's intrinsic worth.
 Many beautiful flashs were made by the Damascene glass workers, but few have survived to this day. Most Of them were carried away by the crusaders in the middle ages, rich spells of the Holy War
 But the destiny of this flask--the Osmar flask, IS it is called-was different. The Emir bought it and took it to Spain, 10 his castle in Valencia.
 Then Prince Jaime led the Chris tan armies across Aragon and thundered at the gates of Valencia and the crescentspangled banners of the Moore were borne back to Africa. The flask Of Osmar, fragile and delicate, survived the sacking of the city. and passed into the pos session of the Christian count Of Valencia.
 Peace did not come 10 Spain for centuries. There were wars and rumors of wars. Lords and dons paWn"d their treasures Of metal and glass and stone to raise fleets to go 10 America and get the red mans gold Rival armies swept through the Spanish peninsula. Tall castles were seized by eager sol diers, treasure houses were gutted. The guns Of Napoleon sounded in tho streets Of Valencia.
 But the Osmar flask by some quirk of fate, survived. Ii stayed in the possession of the counts Of 
 Valencia. and was handed down i from generation to generation as a valued heirloom.
