Estonia returns almost three hundred Ukrainian artifacts
.Among the returned artifacts:
jewelry of the Scythian period: two paired patch plaques in the form of griffins, IV-III centuries BC; a shroud, probably of a wooden vessel or horn, IV-III centuries BC Analogues are known from numerous "royal" burials from the territory of Ukraine - the mounds of Tovsta Mohyla, Solokha, and Haymanova Mohyla
jewelry of the pre-Roman and Roman periods: amulet holders in the form of cylinders and beads, first century BC - first century AD Similar jewelry is known from Eastern Crimea (Bosporus Kingdom); gold beads, 1st century Characteristic of the burials of Sarmatian nobility, for example, Nogaychyn barrow on the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. Jewelry, including almandines, and a paste insert in the form of a scarab, 1st-3rd c. Similar jewelry is known from Sarmatian burials and dirt cemeteries in the Western Crimea (early horizons of the Ust-Alma, Neizats cemeteries, etc.). In recent years, Moscow archaeologists have been conducting numerous illegal excavations on the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. Similar decorations were found in the early burials of the Frontovoe cemetery near Sevastopol.
medieval finds: a ceremonial horse harness, turn of the VIII-IX centuries - beginning of the IX century. Such a horse harness is known from burials with horses of the Saltovo-Mayak culture, which is associated with the Khazars. However, jewelry of this level has been found only on the territory of Ukraine - burial No. 482 of the Netailiv cemetery and 8 burials of the Verkhnii Saltiv cemetery (Kharkiv region). A ring with a bird holding a laurel branch in its paws, tenth to twelfth centuries. A typical medieval ring with a Byzantine theme, known from many similar finds at medieval sites in Ukraine (Kyiv, Chernihiv, etc.).
coins of Byzantine emperors: Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (920-944), Nikephoros 11 Phocas (963-969); John I Cimischius (969-976), Basil II Bulgarobius (976-1025). Similar coins in the tenth and eleventh centuries were widespread almost throughout the territory of modern Ukraine.
