Dish with King Hormizd II or Hormizd III Hunting Lions

Cleveland Museum of Art

Round, flat dish with a raised edge. The dish is primarily silver with gold accents. A man wearing a crown and ornate clothing rides a horse. The man holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. The horse rears up on its hind legs. Two lions are present; one lunges toward the horse from the right, and another lies at the bottom. The background features mountains. The overall design appears to be in a classical or ancient style.
