A Fourth Century BC Royal Kurgan in the Crimea
The Metropolitan Museum Journal
In 1930 The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired a gold plate, or revetment, for a scab-
bard, previously in the Bachstitz Gallery in Berlin. The closest parallel to it, and the only one known at that time, was a plate in the Hermitage Collection found by I. E. Zabelin in
1863 during the excavation of the Chertomlyk kurgan on the Lower Dnieper.2 In 1959 a third plate was discovered by V. P. Shilov in the central burial of kurgan 8 in the Five Brothers group on the necropolis of the Elizavetovskoe settlement
in the Don
