Tovsta Mohyla

[1] Among the weapons, various ornaments, and items of clothing, the Golden Pectoral stood out, a solid 24 carat gold neckpiece, with a diameter of 12 inches (30.6 cm) and weight just over 2.5 pounds (1150 g).

The ancient Scythians were a semi-nomadic Indo-European Iranian-speaking people that lived around the northern area of the Black Sea with the territory that stretched up into the Ural and Altai Mountain region.

[2] In Ukraine, whose territory Herodotus described in his story of the Scythians, found perhaps the largest and most significant burial places of that era.

A large royal Scythian kurgan of the 4th century BC named Tovsta Mohyla was excavated in 1971 by Borys Mozolevsky.

At the entrances to the grave, there were wheels from disassembled hearses, in a separate utility niche - a bronze cauldron and a frying pan.
