A fine antique parianware figure by Minton and stamped with the date mark for 1860 on the underside. Showing a semi-clad Rebekah of the well drawing water. 42cms tall. 16 1/2 inches. Rebekah is a central figure in one of the great family dramas of the Bible. She was the wife of Isaac and the mother of twin boys – Esau and Jacob. She was also a distant ancestor of Christ. Her story is found in the book of Genesis, which explains how Abraham sent his servant Eliezer on a special mission to his home town of Nahor. His mission was to find a suitable wife for his son Isaac – a woman from his own clan. Eliezer travelled to Nahor and waited at a well, praying to God for the right woman to appear. He then immediately met the beautiful Rebekah, who had come to the well to draw water. Convinced that this was a sign, Eliezer then acted as a match-maker between Rebekah and Isaac.
