EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable shield emblem in the form of a panther, dating back to 700-650 BC. Crafted by the Scythians, an ancient nomadic people, this exquisite piece is made from gold, amber, and colored enamel. The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia proudly houses this treasure. Measuring at 16.2x32.6 cm, this shield emblem served as the centrepiece on a warrior's shield during its time of use. Its intricate design features the panther's tail and paws adorned with small feline beasts of prey encircling them. Originating from Krasnodar region's Kelermes area in kurgan 1, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the rich history and craftsmanship of these ancient cultures. The relief work on this metal masterpiece demonstrates exceptional skill and attention to detail by its Scythian creators. The wild animal motif adds an element of power and ferocity to the overall composition. As we admire this ornate decoration today, it serves as a reminder of our ancestors' mastery in metalwork and their ability to create stunning works of art that have stood the test of time.
