Kul-Oba
Kul-Oba is a Scythian burial mound near Kerch in eastern Crimea, raised in the fourth century BCE. Excavated in 1830, it contained the stone tomb of a nobleman with his wife and a servant, together with rich gold and electrum objects, among them a vase showing Scythian warriors. The finds, now in the Hermitage Museum, show Greek craftsmen of the Bosporus working in Scythian taste.
