Ram-Head Rhyton

A drinking horn shaped as a ram’s head, painted with a party.

What

A drinking vessel moulded as a ram’s head; on the bowl above, three drinkers recline, one playing the pipes, and a satyr and maenad dance by the handle.

Why

Made in Athens around 480 to 470 BC and painted by the Brygos Painter; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds it (1988.8), CC0.

Notice

The ram’s curled horn wraps right round its eye.

“The Greeks drank the party out of an animal.”
