Persian Silver Phiale in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Offering Dish with Lobes
Achaemenid, from ancient Persia, 500-400 BC
Silver
Phiale mesomphalos
Decorated with lobes and geometric patterns, this dish was hammered from a single sheet of silver. The omphalos (raised central boss) was designed for a person's fingers: with the thumb on the rim, the vessel could be held securely at an angle to pour liquid offerings to the gods.
