EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times. The image features a stunning silver cup, dating back to the 5th century BC, discovered in Grave IV at Nymphaeum in the Crimea. Crafted by skilled Scythian artisans, this exquisite piece stands as a testament to their exceptional metalworking abilities. The cup's intricate design is truly awe-inspiring. Its delicate handles were cast separately and expertly attached to the main body of the vessel. With a height of 5.6 cm and diameter of 10.5 cm, it is both elegant and functional. Displayed proudly at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this precious relic offers us a glimpse into an ancient civilization's drinking culture. Imagine the hands that once held this cup, raising it for celebratory toasts or quiet moments of reflection. As we admire this work of art through our modern lens, let us appreciate its historical significance and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. This photograph invites us to contemplate not only its beauty but also the stories it holds within its gleaming surface - tales of forgotten rituals and long-lost traditions. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back thousands of years ago when this cup was created with love and care by Scythian artists who left an indelible mark on history through their extraordinary creations.
