Step back into antiquity with this striking mid-century handmade Greek brass relief cup.
This piece is a beautifully detailed reproduction of the famous Vaphio Cups (circa 1500–1450 B.C.), which were unearthed in a Mycenaean tomb in Laconia, Greece, and are currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
The exterior features an intricate, high-relief embossed scene depicting the capture and taming of wild bulls—a central motif in ancient Minoan culture and art.
What sets this particular cup completely apart from others on the market is the presence of its original, intact lead museum-reproduction seal attached to the handle by its original wire.
One side features Greek text identifying its authenticity, while the reverse side bears the rare Crowned Shield Emblem of the Kingdom of Greece.
