It is dedicated to the unsurpassed masterpiece of the Hellenistic-Scythian art - the golden pectoral (4th century BC) from the “Thick Grave” mound in Dnepropetrovsk (1971). Moon-shaped three-tiered decoration of the Scythian king according to the archeologist BM Mozolevsky, who found it, is a work "... of a majestic symphonic sound and deep philosophical content. As in a drop of dew, it reflected not only all the brilliance, all the glow of Scythian gold, but also the lofty soul of a whole people. " Artist: Svetoslav Ivanenko Sculptor: Svyatoslav Ivanenko
