𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆, is one of two identical pieces held by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Each consists of twenty-six flattened figure-eight links decorated with wire pendants that were probably threaded with pearls or gemstones, and a hook partly masked by a leaf-shaped gold plate. At 24 cm in length, they are too short to be worn as necklaces and too long to be bracelets, leaving their original purpose a mystery.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮, 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗩 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼, è uno dei due pezzi identici conservati al Getty Museum di Los Angeles. Ognuna è composta da ventisei maglie appiattite a forma di otto decorate con pendenti che erano probabilmente arricchiti da perle o pietre preziose, e da un gancio parzialmente coperto da una lamina d’oro a forma di foglia. La loro funzione resta un enigma poiché, con una lunghezza di 24 cm, sono troppo corte per essere state indossate come collane e troppo lunghe per essere state dei bracciali.

The Khokhlach Mound treasure, discovered in 1864 near Kerch, Crimea, is a stunning example of Scythian gold craftsmanship This burial site yielded exquisite artifacts, including a golden diadem, earrings, and other finely worked jewelry, showcasing the artistry and wealth of the Scythian elite The intricate designs, often featuring animal motifs, highlight the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Scythians and Greek artisans of the Black Sea region Today, many of these treasures are housed in the Hermitage Museum, offering a glimpse into the splendor of Scythian burial customs
