Since ancient times the heart was thought to be the vessel of the human soul. The origin of the heart symbol is equally as old. Some think it originated from the shape of a seed which in ancient times was used as a contraceptive. Others enjoy thinking it represents features of the female human body. What ever the origin the heart and therefore the heart symbol represent chocolate... no, no, no, I mean they represent love. From ancient vessels to the ubiquitous heart-shaped candy box we still express our feelings with hearts.
| Dominican Republic, ceramic AD1000-1500 |
| Corezone-A ceramic heart-shaped vessel that you can put your thoughts and feelings and emotions into. Write them down on pices of paper and put them inside. You must physically break your own heart to free them. |
Happy Valentines Day
