whoa.. gorgeous item
It’s crazy that, 4000 years ago, people were drinking out of nicer cups than the shit I use on a daily basis.
I need to get better cups.
Big shoutout to the archaeologist and linguist François Desset, who successfully deciphered the inscription engraved on this magnificent object.
