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📸.

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.

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!
