Spouted dish with rosette in the center, traces on the rim where two lions were attached

Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 134

This cup was originally decorated with two couchant lions whose outlines may be seen on its edge. A branch with pointed leaves decorates the area between the lions, and in the bottom of the cup is a rosette with round petals. The lip indicates the cup was made for pouring, and findings in funerary contexts indicate such cups were intended for libations.
