Français : Rhyton (vase à boire) en forme de cerf. Argent et incrustations d'or. Royaume hittite, époque impériale. Anatolie centrale (actuelle Turquie). 1400-1200 avant J.-C. <
Chez les Hittites, le cerf était lié au dieu du monde sauvage, Kuruntiya. Le col du vase est décoré d'une frise représentant une cérémonie religieuse : trois hommes s'avancent en portant des offrandes pour les deux divinités qui leur font face. L'une de ces divinités, montée sur un cerf, est le dieu Kuruntiya, identifié par une inscription en hiéroglyphes. L'autre divinité n'a pas été identifiée pour le moment car son nom est illisible. New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Don de Norbert Schimmel Trust, 1989. 1989.281.10 Exposé au Musée du Louvre en 2019 pour l'exposition "Royaumes oubliés".English: Rhyton (drinking vessel) in the shape of a deer.
