MAKE YOUR OWN DRINKING HORN
Have you ever heard of a rhyton? It was a special drinking horn used in ancient Iran. Originally, these drinking vessels were made from the horns of oxen, cows, or goats.
During the Achaemenid Empire, artisans crafted stunning drinking horns from clay, gold, or silver. People could drink straight from the horn or use it to pour liquid into another cup.
RHYTON COMES FROM A GREEK WORD THAT MEANS FLOWING.
