Vaphio golden cup, NAM 1758
Having the boards of Pylos in front of you, continue straight into the next part of the collection dedicated to the beehive tomb of Vaphio in Laconia. You will see a glass display case with two golden cups. The first has the number 758 and is the next point of interest. It depicts a bull being captured by peaceful means: a man ties a rope around the bull's leg, while the animal mates with a cow.
