LITERATURE:
See Arkhipova, E.I., Videyko, M., Yu, V.I., Klochko, L.S., Klochko; Levada, M.E.; Simonenko, O.V., Stoyanov, R.V., Collection of antiquities of the Platonov and Tarut families (in Ukrainian), Kyiv, 2004, fig.8a, p.126, for a similar buckle.
FOOTNOTES:
Belt plaques with zoomorphic motifs illustrate not only the recognised unity of the zoomorphic art of the steppes, but also the links between the Sarmatians and the eastern nomadic groups. Important in this respect are similar buckles with representations of camels (Krasnogorovka III, Kurgan 11) or Ordos-style bronze plaques from the Kuban.
