| description | The paper introduces into scientific use 5 Early Iron Age statues with the only feature: hemispheric prominence (“clour”) on the top of the statues’ head. There are 8 statues of this kind, including the 5 being published, out of almost two dozens of Saka Period statues. Analytical comparison with the other Early Iron Age statues of Saryarka enabled us to determine both similarities of a few morphological and stylistic features and peculiarities of the statues of this kind: all of them depict human head crowned with a clour. The authors assume the function of the clour feature to be an incase for the lock on the top (aydar), the hairstyle represented in a number of Saka Period statues. By analogy with the earlier published statues, the ones with the clour feature being introduced here were dated by the 7th – 5th centuries BC. In this connection the authors suppose that such statues being located in proximity with barrows with “moustaches” may be an evidence of their synchronicity. |
