Silver fluted tumbler from Ur, southern Mesopotamia, early
dynastic period,2.600-2.400 BCE. The tumbler comes from the Royal graves at Ur. Metal was expensive in Mesopotamia where there are no metal deposits. Several vessels like this one were found at Ur, often made from gold. Silver was widely used but unlike gold the metal corrodes and does not survive. ANE, 122258
