The two golden one-handle caps were found in 1888 by Christos Tsountas in a pit burial of the Mycenean IIA period in the tholos tomb at Vapheio, near Sparta. The first cup depicts a peaceful capturing of a bull: a man ties a rope around its leg. The second cup displays a more violent scene, with a bull caught in a net while another attacks two hunters. They date back  to the sixtheenth century BC.
