An ancient gold Mesopotamian beer drinking vessel is to go on show at Melbourne Museum.
The 4,500-year-old artefact provides a glimpse of the ancient beer drinking practices of the Mesopotamians who would have sipped the beverage from the cup using a straw-like spout to filter out the particles. It was recovered from a "death pit" in the ancient city of Ur in what is now Iraq by an expedition in the 1920s and 1930s. Several human sacrifices thought to be royal attendants were also found there.The exhibition, which is due to open next week, will showcase more than 170 artefacts on loan from the British Museum, charting the history of one of the world's oldest civilisations, dating back as far as 2600 BC.
