The ~2500 years old Vix Krater

This massive, 1.63 m (5'4') high bronze vessel weighs around 200kg (450lbs), making it the largest Classical Greek bronze vessel found to date. The richly ornamented krater was made around 530 - 520 BCE. The krater is part of the 'Vix Treasure', a hoard of jewelry and other metal goods from the burial of an elite Celtic woman, sometimes referred to by historians as 'The Lady of Vix'. It was imported for use as feasting ware.
