The Siberian Collection of Peter the Great is a series of Saka Animal art gold artifacts that were discovered in Southern Siberia, from funeral kurgan tumuli,[6] in mostly unrecorded locations in the area between modern Kazakhstan and the Altai Mountains.

Many Saka kurgans were excavated in the 17th-18th century in the Ingala valley, and helped establish the Siberian Collection of Peter the Great.

Most of the objects initially obtained by Peter the Great were looted from the area of Tobolsk, the capital of Siberia, just north of the Ingala valley.

In 1669, the governor of the Tobolsk rank [Wikidata] Petr Ivanovich Godunov told tsar Alexei Mikhailovich that gold, silver items and utensils were extracted from "Tatar graves" near the Iset River.

But Gerhard Müller, who visited Siberia in 1733-1743 together with the Great Northern Expedition, stated that tomb-robber activity was finished because the kurgans had been totally depleted.
