The Gay Warren Cup
Someone on TikTok called The Warren Cup “the gayest object in the British Museum” and although I’m sure there must be other contenders, it seems like a reasonable first-pass claim:


According to Wikipedia:
The Warren Cup is an ancient Greco-Roman silver drinking cup decorated in relief with two images of male same-sex acts. It was purchased by the British Museum for £1.8 million in 1999, the most expensive single purchase by the museum at that time. It is usually dated to the time of the Julio-Claudian dynasty (1st century AD).
There have been claims that the cup is a 20th-century forgery, but analysis of the silver metallurgy and corrosion seems to have confirmed the ancient dating to the satisfaction of most.
