Look at this magnificent Lapis Lazuli and Gold Rhyton, circa 5th century BC! This ibex-shaped vessel, used in ancient Persian royal courts for sacred libations and festive celebrations, is a breathtaking testament to artistry and power. This treasure apart of the Abegg-Stiftung Collection.

Been visiting my friend's closed up shop and appreciating a small rhyton vessel with a lion's head.

A ceramic pot with skinny legs, a rounded belly, and a bull and two stags as decoration around the neck
This vessel, called a #rhyton, is a unique find from Volimidia.
Each of the projecting heads of two stags and a bull has a hole between the horns for pouring liquid offerings in ritual ceremonies and feasts.
