Solokha, Scythian burial mound in Velyka Znamianka, Ukraine.
The Solokha kurgan rises 19 meters high with a diameter of 100 meters on the left bank of the Dnieper River near Kamianka-Dniprovska.
Russian archaeologist Nikolai Veselovsky excavated two royal Scythian tombs between 1912 and 1913, revealing one intact burial chamber with numerous artifacts.
The burial contained a male ruler with his servant, five horses, bronze weapons, and an intricately decorated gold comb depicting three warriors in combat.
The artifacts discovered in the kurgan, including gold ornaments, bronze weapons, and silver vessels, are displayed at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
The female ruler found in the central tomb was buried with two horses wearing elaborate decorations, indicating the high status of women in Scythian society.
