I know, right? I can’t draw a straight line or make a sphere out of goddamn play-doh, and these people are working substances that only get malleable at ridiculous temperatures, using the most basic tools imaginable, into literal works of art. People are amazing sometimes
That’s the thing I love about artifacts. I’m not artistic in any way, so I find it amazing
How safe is it to cook with bronze?
Completely safe as far as I know. I have some copper cookware myself, even.
What would that pan even be used to cook? I’m having a hard time picturing a use for it.
Put a good seasoning on it and you could fry some eggs! I bet they slide around like a hockey puck!

This finely worked and ornate vessel was used for serving food or drink at dinner parties or for pouring libations at religious ceremonies. Such high-quality bronze paterae often have a wolf or ram’s head finial to the handle.
… though I know the Romans used similar vessels for sauces and as frying pans.
