Definitions

English
‘Rhyton’ comes from a word for 'flow.' The term is used to denote a one-handled drinking cup whose bowl is fashioned into the shape of an animal’s head (sheep, donkey, etc.) or occasionally a more complex creation (pygmy and crane, African child and crocodile, mounted Amazon, camel and driver). It was originally made from horn, hence its shape. The idea was borrowed from Persia.
