Rhyta were designed to aerate wine - with a hole at the front from which the liquid flowed. In this example the wine would pour in a stream from the animal's open mouth directly into the drinker's mouth while the vessel was passed from person to person at a banquet. They were high status luxury wares, highly valued in Near Eastern society, and were fashioned from a number of materials, including gold, silver, bronze, stone, terracotta and glass. The animals on these vessels included the ram, horse, bull, ibex, supernatural creatures, and female divinities.
