The Vapheio Gold cups were excavated from the Beehive tomb near Sparta (Vapheio tholos tomb) and are masterpieces of Creto-Mycenaean metalwork. This sterling silver repousse cup is a reproduction of one of the Vapheio cups, depicting a bull being captured by a net, another bull attacking two hunters, and a third bull fleeing. The interior is plain for easy cleaning Interestingly in season five episode one of Game of Thrones, "The Wars to Come", a reproduction of the Vaphio cup can be seen as Tyrion Lannister, newly arrived from Pentos, uses it for a drink of wine. This cup is a fabulous possession for the Game of Thrones enthusiast!
