And ofc, I had to buy the magnet!
1/5 Carved three and a half millennia ago from a piece of black steatite, this bull-head rhyton is today one of the symbols of the Minoan civilization. It's an image replicated in books and souvenirs everywhere. Let's see this marvel of ancient art in 8 close-up📸.
@a_mphibole It immediately caught my attention!

@africanae9732 Is he going into battle, or is it a rite of passage that his family is crying over? Good morning!
@ReliqVault Indeed. It's a fantastic piece despite its small size. Cheers!

@Orpheus_TN Thanks to you! 🫡🤝
@CanadaStoxx Thank you! 🤝
@ChiPencilPshr Next to this. 🤣
@GalanoGabo Indeed! One of my favorite ancient pieces ever.
@mclo_Bridger Given the design of this rhyton, my guess is that it poured the liquid (wine, oil, milk, etc.) as it entered the top of its head.
@HistoriaJack Indeed, we do!
5/5 In addition to black steatite, aka soapstone, the eyes are inlaid with rock crystal painted in black, white, and red on its back flat surface. The rim is red jasper. The right eye below is the original! The snout is made of white seashell. 📸 by me. Like and Share for more!
4/5 A rhyton was a ritual vessel for pouring liquids (libation) during sacred ceremonies. The drawing shows the inlet hole at the top behind the horns, and the outlet at the bottom of the muzzle. The back of this piece is flat for lying on a surface, and it's 10 in (26cm) high.

Some close-ups from posts from the last couple of months. My dream is to flood this app with more of these to bring you closer to ancient history and beauty, away from the bitterness of the news cycle. Follow for more if you agree!
