Stag Rhyton — View Full-Size Image

This exquisite gilded silver rhyton (wine drinking horn) terminates in the forepart of a naturalistically rendered stag. Incorporating stylistic elements of Achaemenid and Seleucid traditions, it was made in Parthia (northwestern Iran, ca. 50 BCE - 50 CE; JPGM inv. no. 86.AM.753).
