Spartan Gold Vapheio Cup V.1
Product Description
Add the sophistication of classical antiquity art styles, and transform any space into your own private museum with this impressive replica of an Ancient Greek Gold Cup found in the Vapheio tholos tomb in Lakonia, near Sparta.
Made of gold-plated copper, this exact museum reproduction is based on a piece from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens dated to the 15th century BCE. One-handled cups with flaring straight sides are a common type of early Mycenaean cup. This gold example bears a remarkable decoration, which covers its entire surface. A bull is captured by peaceful means: a man ties a rope around the bull's leg, while the animal mates with a cow; three grazing bulls complete the composition.
