Silver Rhyton from Poroina Mare, Romania, 4th-3rd century BCE, Thraco-Getic Classical Antiquity (~800 BCE - 500 AD)

by

A rhyton is an ancient drinking vessel used mainly in ceremonies, feasts or rituals. It usually has a cone or horn shape and often ends with the head of an animal or mythical creature. Instead of drinking from the top like a normal cup, liquid (such as wine) is poured in from the top and flows out through a small hole at the bottom, often through the animal’s mouth.
