About the Item
Sculpture Decorative Ancient Rython, Rare Copper Prehistoric Wine Drinking Glass
The drinking horns from Persia Iran. It is made from bronze.
Rythones are from ancient eras and the horns were used for drinking wine and other beverages, also, at important events, weddings, and celebrations.
A rhyton is a roughly conical drinking vessel or cup from ancient times that was often shaped like an animal or animal's head. The word rhyton comes from the Greek word rhytos, which means "flowing".
Rhytons were used for a variety of purposes, including:
Pouring libations: During religious rituals, rhytons were used to pour liquid offerings, such as wine, water, oil, milk, or honey, onto an altar or the ground. The libation was poured through the neck of the rhyton and spouted through the animal's mouth.
Drinking: Rhytons were also used for drinking.
Blood sacrifice: Some suggest that rhytons were used in blood sacrifice libations, and that the rhyton was a portrait of the sacrificed animal.
Here are some examples of rhytons:
Ram's head rhyton: A rhyton in the British Museum with a lower part shaped like a ram's head.
Horned winged griffin rhyton: A partly gilded rhyton in the British Museum with a cast protome in the form of the foreparts of a horned winged griffin.
Head-rhyta: Rhytons found in the Deylamān region of Iran, south of the Caspian Sea, with the lower part shaped like horned animals, such as cattle or goats.
