Scythian Art refers to the artistic style and artifacts created by the Scythians, a nomadic people who lived in the Eurasian steppes from around the 9th century BCE to the 1st century BCE. Their art is characterized by intricate metalwork, particularly in gold, and often features animal motifs, reflecting their close relationship with nature and their nomadic lifestyle. The Scythians are known for their elaborate burial mounds, or kurgans, which contained rich grave goods, including jewelry, weapons, and pottery. These items showcase their skill in craftsmanship and provide insight into their beliefs, social structure, and daily life.
