In terms of material culture, it is impossible not to note the influence that the Scandinavians had on Rus at that time. Evidence of this, in particular, is a number of pendants from the main centres of Rus. It is curious that the composition of volute-shaped scrolls was widely popular among the Slavic environment of the 11th-mid-12th century. A similar pendant made of tin-lead alloy was found in Gochevo, Kursk region. -
