Back to you, John
Almost two decades ago, the Scythians had their day at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The 2000-2001 exhibition included early Sarmatian artwork from Flilippovka and selected objects from the Pazyryk kurgans of the Arimaspi. A large hardback book was written for the occasion. The exhibition also inspired an international symposium, followed by a second volume published seven years later. Both titles can be referenced as The Golden Deer of Eurasia, the second one with the addentia: Perspectives on the Steppe Nomads of the Ancient World. Both good looking and good reading.
