The ancient Persian tradition of drinking or pouring wine from rhyta (drinking horns) was eagerly adopted in Classical Greece – despite the great political enmity between Greece and Persia. In the Hellenistic Age, rhyta in different materials remained popular. This example from Campania terminates in a highly naturalistic head of a roe deer (19.5 cm in length; ca. 3rd cent. BCE; APM inv. no. 787).
