This part of the Winter Palace formerly contained service
rooms. The display features archaeological finds from the northern
Black Sea area and the northern Caucasus. It includes dress weapons
and utensils, elements of horse harness and ornaments of clothing
from the burial mounds of Scythian and Sarmatian rulers (5th century
B.C. - 1st century A.D.). The room also contains articles from the
Pereshchepina hoard (7th century) and pieces of jewellery from ancient
Iran, Byzantium, Egypt, Armenia, Georgia and the Caucasus. |
