Unknown

7th–early 6th century BCE · Silver · Greek and Roman Art

The dating of the cup is debated. On the one hand, Cypriot parallels of terracotta suggest a Late Geometric to Archaic date. On the other hand, similarities to the Greek skyphos would make a sixth- or fifth-century date more likely.
