Crafted from gold by the Achaemenid civilization between 550-330 BC, this exquisite drinking vessel is now housed in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship evident in this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. The golden ibex, with its majestic horns and graceful stance, exudes a sense of power and elegance. Its body is adorned with delicate engravings that depict floral motifs, adding to its overall beauty.
