fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
The decoration on this bowl--a vine with a little nude, accompanied by musicians, drinking wine from a rhyton--is related to the Hellenistic cult of Dionysos, or Bacchus, which was brought to Iran by the Greeks and became absorbed into the cult of Anahita.
