Abstract
This image shows a black and white closeup of the Late Minoan Peak Sanctuary Rhyton, particularly focusing on an ibex goat. The Peak Sanctuary Rhyton is a ritual vessel made of green steatite and found in the excavation of the Minoan palace of Zakros. The ibex is positioned in a flying gallop with its legs extended and its face in profile. Surronding the ibex are various cracks and overal texture.
