Summary
| Description |
English: Scythian warriors, drawn after figures on an electrum cup from the Kul'Oba kurgan burial near Kerch. The warrior on the right is stringing his bow, bracing it behind his knee; note the typical pointed hood, long jacket with fur or fleece trimming at the edges, decorated trousers, and short boots tied at the ankle. The hair seems normally to have been worn long and loose, and beards were apparently worn by all adult men. The other two warriors on the left are conversing, both holding spears or javelins. The quiver is clearly indicated on the left hip of the man on the left, who is wearing a diadem and therefore is likely to be the Scythian king. (Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg)
Ελληνικά: Σκύθες πολεμιστές, ζωγραφισμένοι βάσει σχεδίων σε ένα ποτήρι από ήλεκτρο από τον τάφο τύπο "κούργκαν" της Κουλ Όμπα κοντά στο Κερτς Српски / srpski: Скитски ратници, цртеж према рељефу на чаши са локалитета Куљ Оба у близини Керча на Криму из прве половине 4. века пре Хр.
فارسی: جنگجویان سکایی
Français : Guerriers scythes, dessinés d'après des motifs sur une coupe en électrum découverte dans le kourgan de Kul'Oba près de Kerch. Le guerrier de droite est occupé à corder son arc en l'appuyant contre son genou ; notez le capuchon pointu typique, la longue veste à fourrure ou à toison formant des franges sur les bords, le pantalon décoré, et les bottes courtes lacées à la cheville. La chevelure semble avoir été normalement portée longue et détachée, et les barbes étaient apparemment portées par tous les hommes adultes. Les deux autres guerriers discutent, et tiennent tous les deux leurs épieux ou javelines. Le carquois est clairement repréenté sur la hanche gauche du guerrier de gauche, qui porte un diadème et est donc selon toute vraisemblance le roi scythe.
