“Objects from the Tenginsky ground burial, located on the western outskirts of the Tenginsky village in the Ust-Labinsky district of the Krasnodar Territory. The burial ground appeared in the middle of the 3rd century BCE and existed until the 3rd century CE.
Probably, a young (less than 30 years old) woman belonged to the upper strata of the Meotian society, whose burial was excavated by the expedition of the SMOA. She was buried, like the warriors-riders, in a pit with a ledge on which a bridled horse lay. The buried woman’s long-length dress was embroidered on the shoulders and along the hem with gold threads. The head was covered with a scarf, fastened with a large brooch-clip with pendants. A large gold earring lay near the head. Numerous beads from necklaces and two pendants made of antique carnelian gems were found on the chest of the deceased. On one of them there was an image of Apollo, on the other – Eros.” [https://www.orientmuseum.ru]
