EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from a gold pectoral found in Tolstaya Mogila, dating back to the 4th century BC. The image depicts a Scythian milking a ewe, providing us with an intimate glimpse into their daily life and pastoral practices. Crafted by a skilled Greek artisan for the Scythians, this ornate piece of metalwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient nomadic culture. The intricate floral motifs adorning the pectoral add an exquisite touch to this scene of dairy production. The Scythian's connection with nature is evident as he delicately tends to his flock amidst a backdrop of flowers and scrolls. The detailed craftsmanship on display here highlights the importance placed on both functionality and aesthetics in ancient jewelry. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported back in time, witnessing not only the practical aspects of milking but also glimpses of adornment and personal expression through decorative accessories such as necklaces worn by these nomadic people.
