Despite the increasing dominance of Greek art and style across Alexander's former empire, there remained echoes of past cultures. The creation and use of animal-headed cups reflected the luxurious dining of the Achaemenid court, with its elaborate tableware and drinking sets.

bull's head a memory of the unimaginable luxuries of the East.; IMGP5188.JPG; PENTAX K-1; f/8.0; 1/30; 12800; ©ROY_GRUBB [3052]
