Ancient Viking Artefact, Slavic Earring Artifact, Archaeological Find, Viking Era. This piece has a beautiful natural patina. A wonderful piece of history. The early 6th century saw the spread of Slavic people, and the state of Kyivan Rus was founded in around 880 CE. Traditions of previous inhabitants did not vanish, and this was quite apparent in the jewellery. Alongside original autochthon forms, there is a mix of Scythian, Sarmatian, Hun, Greek, Celtic and Viking influence on Slavic jewellery. The techniques which were familiar to the ancient Slavs included forging, stamping, chasing, granulation, lost wax casting enameling, and niello. Artisans reached a very high level of technical proficiency. The Benedictine monk Theophilus rated jewelers of Kyivan Rus second only after the Byzantines. Besides the pendants, rings, torques, armlets, fibulas, necklaces and other such jewellery, which had been common to all nations, Slavs had original jewellery, silver armlets of a distinctive Kyiv type, temple rings, enameled kolts and diadems.

Многим известно, что слова не только несут в себе ОБРАЗ, но и могут выступать в роли передатчика того или иного действия. А наш язык – РУССКИЙ или правильнее РУСЬКИЙ (от слова РУСЬ) – весь образный и за каждым словом стоит некий образ или действие, заложенное в него.
The medieval warriors from different parts of the world looked rather alike, but there were some differences between them, of course. Usually, small details varied, like shapes of shields and helmets, amulets and jewelry pieces, decorations, etc. Today, we would like you to see the typical outfits of Kyivan Rus warriors from the 10th – early 11th century. Their jewels are especially cool. Also, note how skillfully the wax figures are made – it’s hard to tell that they aren’t real people. It’s even a bit creepy…
Editor's note: Just as Vikings once ruled Dublin of Ireland, Kiev and other Slavic areas were once ruled by Vikings. In fact, the word Russia is based on the word Rus (Swedish Vikings). The above photograph is of the author of this article and his fellow Slavic reenactors taking pride in their Viking heritage.

When we speak about Native Gods we mean our Primordial, Heathen, Indo-Arian, Ancient-European and Old-Slavic Pantheon. It has its own history, described in many ways in different schools. There are hundreds of traditions to interpret, to present and to glorify our Pagan Gods. The Native Gods’ Pantheon is many thousands years old. His roots have been growing from antediluvian era, from Paleolithic times and matriarchy society. It is not easy to study this Primordial Tradition as whole, to see genetic and linguistic links, to avoid subjectivism, localism and personal fantasies. For example, so called Western Science likes to speak about Indo-European tradition, but generally surveys Celtic, Germanic and Indian heritage. The Balto-Slavic, Scythian or Russian antiquities are not well-known in the West. This ideological mistake is not acceptable for the modern Europe that unites Western and Eastern parts of the continent. Далее
Hundreds of 'priceless' pieces of jewellery, including a stunning gold laurel wreath, have been found in the grave of an ancient princess in Crimea. Credit: Alexander Trufanov/east2west news The wealthy woman is believed to have been an elite member of the Scythian nomad tribes who roamed across Europe and Asia in the first century AD. She was adorned for the afterlife and surrounded with 140 piece of jewellery including earrings, a necklace and plaques on her sleeves. Credit: Alexander Trufanov/east2west news Two gold eye plates were also found but, in a puzzle to archaeologists, they were located on her chest. Scythian burial sites normally include several human remains but this site only contained the skeleton of the woman. Credit: TV Center/east2west news Experts say this is an indication of her high status in the ancient society found on the Black Sea peninsula, particularly when combined with the opulent items uncovered. Nearby were found two gold rings, one with a glass gem. The other was inlaid with translucent carnelian engraved with an image of Eros and and a dog.

Also in the grave was an incense burner and a flagon of frankincense. Many other graves at the Ust-Alminsky site in the Crimea peninsula - annexed by Russia from Ukraine five years ago - were looted. Credit: Alexej Chuguj/east2west news Russian politician Ruslan Balbek said: "Some decorations in the form of a laurel wreath, golden amphoras and rings are unique in their characteristics. They are fascinating in their novelty." The finds are as significant and valuable as another famous haul from the same ancient necropolis, some 31 miles southwest of regional capital Simferopol. These finds are now held in the Netherlands where they were on display when Russia annexed Crimea. Credit: TV Center/east2west news Ukraine is engaged in a legal dispute to retain possession of this collection for which the insurance value was £1.7 million. Russia insists the collection should be returned to Crimea. However, this collection of 2,000 pieces including 500 gold items was said to have been significantly undervalued. Both collections are seen as 'priceless'. An appeal court hearing is due in Amsterdam next week.
