Persian Wine Set
Like Belshazzar, King Ahasuerus took the Jewish Temple vessels and hosted a banquet for the people. During the banquet, the King's wife Vashti refuses to appear in public and she is exiled from the Palace. After a nationwide search, a young Jewish girl, Esther, is chosen to be the new queen consort. You are looking at an ancient Persian wine set displayed in the Israel Museum. Esther 1:7Royal wine was served in abundance, as befits a king, in golden beakers, beakers of varied designs.

Dans la Bible
It happened in the days of Ahasuerus (i.e. Xerxes)… In the third year of his reign… the king gave a banquet for seven days in the fortress of Susa… Royal wine was served in abundance, as befits a king, in golden beakers, beakers of varied design.
"וַיְהִ֖י בִּימֵ֣י אֲחַשְׁוֵר֑וֹשׁ (כלומר קסרקסס) ... בִּשְׁנַ֤ת שָׁלוֹשׁ֙ לְמָלְכ֔וֹ... עָשָׂ֣ה הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ לְכָל־הָעָ֣ם הַנִּמְצְאִים֩ בְּשׁוּשַׁ֨ן הַבִּירָ֜ה ... מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים ... וְהַשְׁקוֹת֙ בִּכְלֵ֣י זָהָ֔ב וְכֵלִ֖ים מִכֵּלִ֣ים שׁוֹנִ֑ים וְיֵ֥ין מַלְכ֛וּת רָ֖ב כְּיַ֥ד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ."
