Lapis Lazuli and Gold Rhyton

Image
Look at this magnificent Lapis Lazuli and Gold Rhyton (an ancient horn shaped drinking vessel), 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.
