This room is located in the building of the New Hermitage.
It is used to display metal work and jewellery (5th century B.C. -
early 7th century) found during excavations of the Greek city colonies
on the northern Black Sea coast and on the territory of the Kingdom
of Cimmerian Bosporus, as well as in the eastern Mediterranean area.
Outstanding among the works of jewellery are a unique pectoral from
the Bolshaya Bliznitsa burial mound, earrings executed in the "microtechnique"
from the Kul-Oba barrow and a burial mask from the necropolis of Olbia.
In the centre of the room is the celebrated silver amphora from the
grave of a Scythian ruler in the Chertomlyk burial mound. |
