- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A very fine grade silver skyphos (95% silver) with upraised handles. The vessel's body is carinated at the shoulder, presents a concave neck and flat rim that is decorated with an impressed pattern framed by everted borders, and sits upon a concave base with concentric circles and a possible makers mark on the base. The handles are curvaceous in form and impressively decorated with balanced, symmetrical floral blossoms and foliage motifs adorning the top flat areas; their profiles are bifurcated and present what look like makers marks at the lower ends. Cups like this example were used for drinking wine or imbibing other alcoholic substances. The fact that it is made from silver suggests it was created for an individual of wealth and status who could easily afford the price of finer material like silver. Size: 5.75" W handlespan x 2.125" H (14.6 cm x 5.4 cm)
