This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 4th century BC, known as "Comb with a fighting scene". This exquisite piece of Scythian Art is currently housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg. The comb itself is crafted from metal and adorned with intricate details that depict an intense combat scene. The artist's skillful rendering brings to life human and animal likenesses engaged in fierce battle, showcasing the artistic movement prevalent during this era. The comb's golden hue adds a touch of opulence to its historical significance. Its close-up image reveals every delicate stroke and meticulous craftsmanship employed by its creator. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this ancient artifact also sheds light on the concept of hygiene and health practices during that time period.
