EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gold plaque depicting two Scythians engaging in a ritualistic drink. Crafted by the Scythian civilization during the 4th century BC, this exquisite artifact stands at a height of 4.9 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Excavated near Kerch Kul Oba kurgan in Crimea back in 1830, this piece offers an intriguing glimpse into ancient Crimean culture. The intricate details on the plaque reveal two male figures sharing a beverage from an ornate cup and horn vessel, symbolizing friendship and camaraderie. The craftsmanship exhibited here exemplifies the mastery of metalwork prevalent during that era. Notably, the shield emblem adorning one of the figures adds another layer of symbolism to this artwork. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition among these Scythians. It serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and rituals surrounding social bonding through shared drinks. This print not only preserves history but also invites us to ponder upon our own customs and traditions related to friendship and communal gatherings over beverages. Through its timeless appeal, it reminds us that certain aspects of human connection transcend time and continue to resonate with us today.
