Over 2,000 years ago, Scythian women shaved their heads and wore elaborate wigs – some over 60cm tall! These were complex structures using different materials, including an elaborate hairstyle made of horsehair. They were decorated with leather birds and a wooden pin like this in the shape of a deer standing on a ball. These decorations may symbolise the tree of life, with birds in its branches and beasts at its root. Swipe to see an illustration of what this hairstyle would have looked like!

Learn more about these fearsome warriors and their exquisite craftsmanship in our #Scythians exhibition, opening 14 September. Follow the link in our bio to book your tickets.
