Matched Scythian Gilt Silver Adornments (pr)

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $1500**

Western Asia, Scythian, ca. 1st millennium BCE. A pair of matching gilt silver appliques, both decorated in repousse with a knot-like arrangement of abstract zoomorphic or avian imagery. The ancient Scythians left behind a tremendous body of beautiful precious metalwork, nearly all of it found in tombs called kurgans that dot the landscape from the Black Sea to Mongolia. Goldwork pieces probably came from workshops located on the north of the Black Sea, in modern day Ukraine and Russia. Wonderful examples of the finely crafted Scythian animal style! Size: 1.875" Diameter (4.8 cm); 1.75" H (4.4 cm) on included custom stand; gold gilt quality: 44% to 45% gold (equivalent to 10K+); total weight: 33.1 grams

Just who were the Scythians? While most of us are familiar with the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, and Egypt, the nomadic Scythians tribes are lesser known, perhaps because they were less interested in empire building and their culture was relatively more ephemeral than others. This said, the Scythians originated in southern Siberia and controlled a sizeable territory stretching from northern China to the Black Sea. They are best known for the so-called "Scythian triad" - weaponry, horse gear, and animal art like exemplified by these zoomorphic adornments.

Cf. "From the Lands of the Scythians: Ancient Treasures from the Museums of the U.S.S.R., 3000 B.C. - 100 B.C." The Metropolitan Museum of Art & the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1975; Ellen D. Reeder, ed. "Scythian Gold," Abrams, 1999.

A pair of Scythian gold appliques hammered for $5,640 at Christie's, New York (sale 9826, December 5, 2001, lot 45)

Condition

Roundel with darker patina has a 0.25" fissure from the border that does not interfere with repousse imagery. The other ornament was repaired from two large pieces and shows a minute loss to the periphery. Both have encrustations on verso and remains of leather to which it was once attached on verso near the rivets.
