Zoomorphic Vessel (Horn Rhyton) The shape of this drinking vessel, called a rhyton, was such that it could not be set down until the contents had been emptied. Revelers drank the liquid, probably wine, through a spout in the animal's mouth. Like the ram, which was also used as a rhyton form, the antelope had royal connotations for the Sasanian Persians.Page 4 of 7 | On the next page: Statuette of a Goddess |
