This pair of Scythian gilded bronze plaques from the 2nd to 1st Century BCE captures the vitality of equine forms that are central to the art and culture of Eurasian nomads. Each rectangular plaque measures 97mm in width and 66mm in height, showcasing two spirited horses in low relief, their figures raised in motion, embodying the freedom of the steppes.
The horse has a prominent place in Scythian culture, not just as a symbol of mobility and power but also as a reflection of the spiritual world of these ancient people. The artistry of these plaques, with horses depicted in a stylized manner typical of Scythian metalwork, offers a direct connection to a civilization where horses were more than mere animals—they were integral to survival, status, and artistic expression.
Each plaque still bears the marks of skilled craftsmanship with holes that suggest they were once attached to a surface, possibly as adornments for horse gear or warrior attire. Despite their age, the plaques retain a significant amount of the original gilding, enhancing their allure as objects of significant historical and aesthetic value.
Nicks and light abrasions, along with minor encrustations on the verso, speak to their authenticity and long history. Published in prominent art references, these plaques are not only a testament to the Scythian's reverence for horses but also a valuable addition to any collection of ancient art, sure to kindle the imagination about the vast and storied Eurasian landscapes.
Visual Analysis:
The gilded bronze plaques feature Scythian artistry, emphasizing the cultural importance of horses in ancient Eurasia. The dynamic portrayal of horses in low relief, with meticulous detailing, highlights the Scythians' mastery of metalwork and their deep connection to these animals. The gilding, while worn, adds a luxurious aspect to the pieces, indicating they were likely items of significant value. Despite the wear, the plaques remain in excellent condition, retaining a beautiful patina that enhances their historical character. The drilled holes suggest their practical use, potentially as decorative elements for equestrian equipment or ceremonial attire, making them remarkable artifacts of nomadic life on the steppes.
