【稀世文物 91】公元前 14~13 世紀，造型奇特的雄鹿飲杯，出土于赫梯帝國首都哈圖沙，現在土耳其安納托利亞高原。赫梯帝國曾經擊敗過巴比倫，并于 1285 年與埃及法老拉美西斯二世爆發夾疊石大戰。該器物現藏于美國大都會博物館
By 1700 B.C., people speaking Hittite—an Indo-European language—had founded a capital at Bogazköy (ancient Hattusha) and, under a series of powerful kings, established a state in central Anatolia. The Hittite army attacked and partly destroyed Babylon in 1595 B.C., and in 1285 B.C. fought a battle against the Egyptian king Ramesses II at Qadesh in Syria.
This silver drinking vessel in the form of a stag was hammered from one piece that was joined to the head by a checkerboard-patterned ring. Both the horns and the handle were attached separately. A frieze depicting a religious ceremony decorates the rim of the cup, suggesting the uses for which the cup was intended.
