The Water Jug Statue

Does this statue bearing a water jug speak to the dire thirst felt by all who live in this parched land? Or is it perhaps a symbol of some ancient king's power, one who commanded water freely across a world of rock and sand? Perhaps it signifies an even more ancient age—a time before this land ascended into the sky. Could it be that this entire region was once blanketed in lush greenery and water flowed freely from the earth?
