ukdamo:Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits - a very recent upload. The image is of octahedral vessels, donatives to the temple of Sanctuary of Apollo Helios in Sani, in the region of modern-day Trypiti, close to Mt Athos, Greece. The cult statue in the temple has a pyrimidal embellishment on top of the head (which was, in its turn, derived from the sacred rocks that were the original altars within such sacred perecincts). The vessels date back to the 3rdC BCE. They can be seen in the archaeologocal museum in Thessaloniki. -- source link
