Halbactorian Alien Canister Number 683j Ceramic Art Pottery Vase by Michael W. Moses

I recently sold my large wall pocket "The Constant Gardener", that I featured in my Sunday, March 31, 2013 post. It was shipped out to day and is going to a collector in Tennessee. 

Here is a new piece of pottery that I have called the "Halbactorian Alien Canister Vase Number 683j".  This piece is one of my vases that has a story to go with it. So many times I have had people say to me what's the story behind this piece and at first I was a bit puzzled as to what they meant.  So now for many of my works of ceramic art pottery, I have created background stories. I find that some people seem a bit perplexed when I tell them the stories now.

The story behind "Halbactorian Alien Canister Vase Number 683j"

Deep within the countless time sealed caves of Danarlov, are caches of treasure that were hidden away by the eldritch Halbactorians.
The Halbactorians were the most ancient of the keepers of the truths of Seldorov. They lived during the 3,477th trieldrod of the 22nd telvef of the empire of Keldoriss. The beings of Halbactor were a race that revolved around the seeking of the "light of the light" and the infinite quest for the original knowledge. The knowledge that they sought was that which had been the first gift to the first Halbactorians. This knowledge was a gift from the maker of truth and had been stored away in a ceramic canister that had been on display in the gild hall of the written truth. It had been displayed there for thousands of years. Then it had been stolen by the Helgarnd Saval and hidden deep in the nether regions of their planet Selcvardav. This artifact is an original representation of the one that was stolen. The Halbactorians created many such pieces as a remembrance of what was lost to them and a reminder of the canister for which they searched. The over all belief is that this type of empty canister still held the original truth even though it had long before been taken from them.
