Specifically, the species represented is Turkestan barbel, native to the Oxus river and Caspian Sea. Despite its smelly exterior, this fish vessel would have been used to hold costly perfumed oil which was used by Achaemenid nobles to style their beards and ringlets, keeping them shiny and fragrant. Bad hair days were a serious social misstep in the Achaemenid empire. Elite Persian men grew their hair long, and well-crafted styles were considered supreme markers of status ✂🧔 ✨ Come and see this fragrant fish amongst other golden treasures in our #LuxuryAndPowerExhibition, open until 13 August – get your ticket via the link in our bio 🔎 Flask in the shape of a fish. Gold, from Takht-i Kuwad in Tajikistan, around 500–300 BC. #BritishMuseum #Fish #OceansMW」6月8日 21時11分
