Our new autumn exhibition will tell the story of the #Scythians – formidable groups of warriors that roamed the vast open plains of Siberia.

Excavations of burial mounds in Siberia, particularly in the high Altai mountains, have revealed a wealth of Scythian objects. These frozen tombs remarkably preserved mummified warriors and horses, but also clothes and fabrics, food and weapons, and spectacular gold jewellery.

This beautiful gold plaque was made by nomads in Siberia about 2,300 years ago. One half of a symmetrical belt buckle, it would undoubtedly have belonged to Scythian nobility, perhaps royalty. Gold was associated with the sun and royal power.

Our major show the BP exhibition Scythians: warriors of ancient Siberia opens in September 2017. Buy your tickets by following the link in our bio.
