Summary

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythian" class="extiw" title="en:Scythian">Scythian</a> warriors, drawn after figures on an electrum cup from the Kul'Oba kurgan burial near Kerch. The warrior on the right is stringing his bow, bracing it behind his knee; note the typical pointed hood, long jacket with fur or fleece trimming at the edges, decorated trousers, and short boots tied at the ankle. The hair seems normally to have been worn long and loose, and beards were apparently worn by all adult men. The other two warriors on the left are conversing, both holding spears or javelins. The quiver is clearly indicated on the left hip of the man on the left, who is wearing a <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diadem_(personal_wear)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Diadem (personal wear) (page does not exist)">diadem</a> and therefore is likely to be the Scythian king. (Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg)
