EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient times. In the image, we witness a Scythian milking a ewe while simultaneously being confronted by a fierce lion attacking a boar. The intricate details of this gold artwork, created by Greek craftsmen in the 4th century BC, are truly remarkable. The photograph originates from the Historical Museum in Kiev, Ukraine and is believed to have been made for the Scythians by skilled Greek artisans. It was discovered at Tolstaya Mogila kurgan and showcases an array of elements that depict daily life scenes of that era. The composition features ornate floral designs intertwined with dairy motifs, highlighting the importance of livestock in Scythian culture. The nomadic lifestyle is represented through various symbols such as necklaces, pectorals, and twisted metalwork jewelry. Additionally, we can observe decorative scrolls and vine patterns adorning the piece along with hunting dogs accompanying their master on his journey. A walking stick or cane adds to the pastoral ambiance portrayed in this work. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into an ancient world filled with rich symbolism and artistic craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and invites us to appreciate both cultural diversity and our shared humanity across time.
