Found in a Scythian tomb at Kelermos Kurgan and now housed in the prestigious Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, this artifact is truly a treasure to behold. Against a sleek black background, the golden hue of this exquisite object shines brilliantly. The intricate details and delicate patterns etched into its surface are awe-inspiring, revealing the extraordinary skill and artistry of its creators.
