Had so many comments on yesterday's post, I'll show you some more items of the exhibition.
These gold treasures date from 2-nd-1st century BC and were found in Siberia.
Left is a Belt fastening: wolf doing battle with a snake.
In the middle a Belt plaque with boar hunt. Right is a Golden torque with beasts of prey.
Oil lamp made from a lumb of rock christal from Egypt. In the 16th Century the creatures were added by the Italians.
A mythical funerary horse's decoration. This funerary caparison and head gear was intented for a chieftain's horse.The gear transformed the animal into an impressive mythical beast.
All items were placed behind glass which makes the quality of photos a bit less.

I wonder what it symbolizes. Also, that is a huge snake!
More great photos. Thanks for sharing them.

Wow! Looove the Egyptian oil lamp, so beautiful 💙
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPretty impressive pieces you've shown us today. I'm always impressed by ancient glass pieces. Glass is so fragile it amazes me when it lasts so long.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love going to the museums.
