Tovsta Mohyla is a Scythian royal burial mound of the 4th century BCE near the town of Pokrov in Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine. Excavated by Borys Mozolevsky in 1971, it yielded a gold pectoral decorated with scenes of Scythian daily life and of animals in combat, one of the finest works of Greek goldsmiths made for the Scythians. The pectoral is now in the Museum of Historical Treasures of Ukraine in Kyiv.
