A patinated bronze model of a rhyton, after the Antique, the terminal in the form of a bull's head, with a looping handle, on a circular socle.

English, c.1800.

Notes: In the 2nd century BCE, the Minoans developed a ceremonial drinking vessel called a rhyton, developed from the Greek word rheo, 'to flow'. These vessels are characterised by their double opening; when liquid is poured into the top it flowed through a smaller opening. In antiquity, this was used for aerating wine, or pouring liquid into a shallow bowl to offer as a libation to the Gods.
