The Ram Hunting Plate is a beautiful artifact from the Sasanian period, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The plate is beautifully gilded with mercury, silver, and gold, and decorated with black ink, and in a hunting scene that takes us back more than 2,000 years, the Shah of Iran from the Sasanian dynasty, believed to be Qabad I, is majestically and authoritatively hunting rams.
