Many theologians believe the upper room was located in a poorer neighborhood on the lower slope of the western hill of Jerusalem called Mt. Zion. This might mean the furnishings and utensils would have been modest, but the best the owner could provide.<\/p>\n<p>In paintings from the 11th century A.D. through the Renaissance and later, artists often depicted wine vessels in Last Supper paintings in a Greek oenochoe (pronounced E-Nok-O-E) form.<\/p>\n<p>The Last Supper is commonly considered to have been a Triclinium style of a place for a meal for entertaining. It was named for the three couches found in the dining room, arranged in a U shape. The couch was an all-purpose piece of furniture that was used for sleeping, conversing or dining. The meal was eaten while reclining on one&#8217;s left side.<\/p>\n<p>For a woodturning project I wanted to create a lathe-turned wine vessel that might be similar in form to one used at the Last Supper. This is highly speculative, and no suggestion is made that anything like it was actually used.<\/p>\n<p>A Greek-styled oenochoe form was certainly known during the time of Christ, so that was my choice. Instead of pottery I chose a piece of American Elm log that had been aging in my shop for forty years to turn the vessel.
