| description | The paper presents an unpublished silver amphora with zoomorphic handles shaped as winged horses. It
explores the entire class of similar metal amphorae with zoomorphic handles (including isolated handles)
from the Achaemenid domain and its neighbouring areas, as well as their clay parallels, and their icono‑

as following the Achaemenid monetary standard. Finally, the vase is attributed to a Lydian workshop and
dated ca. 500 BC. |
