Plaque in the animal form, Eleke Sazy burial ground, Kazakhstan. 8th-7th century

---

Eleke Sazy Cemetery is an untouched historical place of the early Saka period of VIII-VII centuries BC. According to anthropologists, the bone belonged to a 17-18-year-old man. Its height is 160-170 centimeters. The artifacts buried with him are well preserved, so there is an opportunity to restore the costume and appearance of the "Golden Man". The clothes of the buried man were covered with gold from head to toe. The young man has a brace on his neck, which proves that he has a high social status. The dagger in the coffin and the golden scabbard were also buried together.
