A Scythian Bone Ornamental Object, 5th-3rd Century BCE

Item Details

Description

This intricately carved bone object, likely originating from the Scythian culture, reflects the nomadic artistry of the Eurasian steppes. Scythians were known for their skill in bone carving, often creating decorative items with geometric and animal motifs. This piece, with its detailed concentric circles and linear patterns, may have been used as an ornamental attachment or a utilitarian item with symbolic significance. The craftsmanship points to the Scythians' ability to create durable and meaningful art, a fusion of practicality and aesthetics. Its condition and patina suggest it was a valued piece, handled and possibly worn over many years.

Dimensions:
Height: 3.5 cm (1.38 inches)
Diameter: 2.5 cm (0.98 inches)

Provenance:
Discovered in the Kuban region of Russia, an area known for Scythian settlements, in the 1980s.
Formerly in the private collection of Ivan Petrovich, a Russian historian and collector of Scythian artifacts, until 2010.

Keywords:
Scythian, Bone Carving, Nomadic Art, Eurasian Steppe, 5th Century BCE, 3rd Century BCE, Decorative Art, Geometric Motif, Animal Motif, Ornamental Attachment, Utilitarian Object, Cultural Artifact, Kuban Region, Russian History, Collector's Item, Ancient Craftsmanship, Antiquity.
