This print showcases a mesmerizing scene of nature's raw power and primal instincts. In the image, a lion and panther are seen launching a fierce attack on a boar, their predatory prowess on full display. This detailed gold pectoral from Tolstaya Mogila, created by Scythian craftsmen in the 4th century BC, is now housed in the Historical Museum in Kiev, Ukraine. The intricate metalwork of this ancient artifact is truly remarkable. Adorned with ornate floral motifs and twisted scrolls, it exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The craftsmanship involved in creating such a piece is awe-inspiring.
