At the height of the Scythian world, their territory stretched from Greece and Upper Egypt in the West to the borders of India, Himalaya’s and Central Asia in the East, from the 6th to 4th centuries BC. The craftsmanship of this nomadic culture in gold was extraordinary with a quality unsurpassed. This beautiful workmanship can be a juxtaposition to their brutality within their society. The delicate pin would have been used for a modest light garment rather than a cloak.
