This is the former "Drawing-room with Cupids" decorated
by Andrei Stakenschneider in the mid-1850s. It is used to display
artefacts from the Bronze Age (3rd - early 1st millennia B.C.) found
in the steppes of the northern Black Sea area, the Volga basin, the
northern Caucasus and southern Siberia. The bone ornaments, earthenware
vessels, bronze and stone tools were uncovered during the excavation
of settlements and burial sites. Visitors' attention is drawn to a
stone slab bearing the depiction of a human being holding spears (the
Okunev Culture of southern Siberia, 2nd millennium B.C.) and an earthenware
vessel in the form of a cart (northern Caucasus, 2nd millennium B.C.). |
