Solokha

c. 400 BCE · 5th century BCE

Solokha is a royal Scythian burial mound of the late 5th or early 4th century BCE near the lower Dnieper in southern Ukraine. Excavated by Nikolai Veselovsky in 1912–1913, it contained an intact royal burial with a famous gold comb crowned by a battle scene of three warriors, made by Greek craftsmen for a Scythian patron. The comb and other finds are in the Hermitage Museum.
