Nima had a great time today playing her favorite game which is sneak up on people to breathe hot wet air on their feet as she sniffs them and then act like she was kicked and shot when the victim pulls their feet away

Sarmatian Diadem, 1st century AD, Scythian Culture,

Found at the Khokhlach kurgan burial mount, Novocherkassk, Russia,

The diadem consists of three hinged parts, the whole surface inlaid with garnet and glass. In the center is an amethyst bust of a woman wearing a tunic and crowned with a gold wreath inlaid with almandine.

The upper edge of the diadem is decorated with a figurative frieze representing a ritual scene of sacred animals processing towards the Tree of Life. The lower edge is decorated with pendants bearing rosettes rimmed with gold beads, pearls and small plaques.

This diadem is a typical example of the eclectic art which combed both Classical features and elements of Sarmatian art. It was intended for ritual use and was associated with the cult of fertility.

Gold, amethyst quartz, almandines, garnets, turquoise, coral, glass, pearls, resinous mass.

H. 15 cm.; L. 61 cm.

State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia
