Vessels shaped as bulls, lions, birds, donkeys, and other animals were routinely used to pour and drink liquids at feasts throughout the ancient world. Bringing together animal-shaped vessels from Asia, the Mediterranean, the Near and Far East, and the Americas, this fascinating cross-cultural study is the first large-scale consideration of this phenomenon. Experts from around the world reveal how these entertaining, often extremely lifelike vessels functioned not only as feasting paraphernalia but also as ritual implements, symbols of social status, and objects of artistic exchange and experimentation. Taking up questions ranging from the mechanics of drinking from such unwieldy containers to considerations of what the preference for these shapes says about the nature of human-animal relationships, this books uses a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to offer a unique window onto the experiences of the individuals and communities who raised up these magnificent objects in pleasure and in praise.

"Si l'émergence d'un nouvel art de bâtir en Île-de-France dans la décennie 1130 a été largement étudiée, la genèse de la première sculpture gothique liée à l'incidence de ces mutations architecturales restait à mettre en lumière. Ce phénomène, envisagé dans les limites géographiques de son berceau originel, se distingue par l'invention de la statue-colonne et l'évolution des programmes iconographiques. Saint-Denis, Paris et Chartres, monuments emblématiques du Moyen Âge, témoignent, au cours des années 1135-1150, d'une étonnante aspiration au renouvellement des formes et traduisent dans la pierre les prémices d'un humanisme gothique. Les ébrasements des portails peuplés de grandes figures royales et prophétiques, les chapiteaux ornés de bouquets de palmettes, de feuilles d'acanthe, de basilics, de sirènes-oiseaux, de rinceaux habités, de griffons et de chimères révèlent une créativité et une richesse infinies."--Page 4 of cover.
