"description": "On this silver beaker, two registers show men grabbing felines by the paws and stabbing rearing beasts amid stylized trees. The bearded men wear long robes and scarves, carefully created using repouss\u00e9. A large guilloche pattern (interlacing curved lines) containing a smaller guilloche pattern and punctuated by round bosses fills the space between the registers. This beaker may show a Master of Animals or a hero in combat, popular motifs in the ancient Near East.",
