theancientworld:

Comb with Scythians in Battle, Late 5th - early 4th century BCE Russia (now Ukraine)

The Hermitage Museum

I’m guessing this is gold, in which case… the detail is amazing enough, but it’s mind-boggling that an object made out of such a valuable and ductile metal could survive in this shape for 2500 years. Great stuff.
