A repoussé floral tendril and rows of feathers decorate the elongated body of the Roman silver amphora-rhyton that inspired this collection. The body of the original vessel, hammered out of a single sheet of silver, demonstrates the exceptional skill of ancient Roman silversmiths.

An amphora-rhyton is rare, and few have survived from antiquity. Although the vessel takes the shape of an elongated amphora (a form used to store liquids), the narrow bottom of this vessel is actually a spout, making the vessel a rhyton. The term rhyton comes from the Greek verb meaning "to run through." Rhyta were used to aerate wine as it was poured into a drinking vessel.
