Copa con aves y animales

ca. 4th century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 202
Tal vez procedente de la región que es hoy día Rumanía o Bulgaria, esta copa de plata ejemplifica la excelente técnica de los orfebres tracios. El estilo decorativo fantástico con el que se representan los animales, y sus cuernos rematados con cabezas de pájaros, caracterizan el arte de los pueblos nómadas que emigraron a Europa a través de las estepas de la Rusia meridional durante el primer milenio a. C. Aunque se aprecian influencias estilísticas contemporáneas escitas e iraníes, la iconografía de estas escenas es, sin duda, tracia y tal vez alude a mitos o leyendas nativas.
