Silver drinking cup

1st century BCE–1st century CE
Not on view
Restituted
This artwork was restituted in March 2026. It is no longer in the museum’s collection.
These cups are an unusual variant among silver vessels of the Republican period, combining as they do Hellenistic Greek elements (the handle palmettes) with Roman traits (the form of the handles as well as the treatment of the interiors of the bowls).




This work was deaccessioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art for return to the Italian Republic in 2026. The repatriation was done in collaboration with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, in connection to its investigation into dealer Frieda Tchacos. More information about The Met’s provenance initiatives can be found here.
