The Derveni Krater, a masked volute-krater in bronze from Derveni, Macedonia ca. 350-320 BC, with its Eschatological Iconography, is suggestive of an original purpose to be initiatic to some Dionysian-related ritual.  Almost a meter high, the krater was found more than forty-five years ago in one of five undisturbed cist tombs dated by Attic pottery to the last third of the fourth century BC, near the ancient Macedonian settlement of Lete, 12 kilometers northeast of Thessaloniki. The krater is not “gilded,” as frequently described.  Its color is indeed the result of the almost 15 percent (14.88 percent) tin content of its bronze alloy, which astutely seemed to have been brushed to accent the vines leafage to a silvery tone.
