Ancient Greek Effigy Ram Ryton Replica

Rhyton Effigy Mugs were made throughout Europe and the Middle East during the Iron Age approximately starting around circa 1200 B.C. The vessels were made so that upon filling, it was impossible to set it down thus facilitating drinking the wine content in its entirety. This Greek style rhyton of a ram's head drinking vessel was hand sculpted and not slip molded. The vessel was stained with red wine, minerals, and paints to give it a used and ancient appearance. Fired with wood in a dirt pit rendered a smoky patina that was subsequently stained, fumed, and abraded to give it truly a realistic look of antiquity.
