Image description

This silver horn-shaped drinking vessel (rhyton) from Central Anatolia in the form of a stag was hammered from one piece that was joined to the head by a checkerboard-patterned ring, horns and handle attached separately. Hittite texts describe their gods as being given their own drinking vessels made in the form of their animal counterparts. A frieze of a religious ceremony decorates the rim and a goddess in a conical crown holds a bird of prey. A male god stands on the back of a stag with a falcon. Three men hold an offering to the divinities.
