This intimidating male headgear was found in the tomb of a Scythian chieftain in the Altai mountains in Siberia. Around 2,300 years old, it’s thought this headgear may have been worn by the chieftain in his final battle, as the damage to it corresponds with the fatal wounds on the man’s head.

The carving depicts the head of a fantastic eagle, holding a deer head in its beak, with figures carrying geese on either side. These elements were part of a complex headpiece which consisted of a decorated felt cap topped with an elaborate wooden crest. Swipe to see how this headgear would have been worn.

Our major autumn exhibition explores the story of the #Scythians – nomadic tribes and masters of mounted warfare. Find out more about this exciting show by following the link in our bio.
