The Ohuz kurhan is the burial place of one of the last kings of Scythia from the end of the third quarter of the 4th century BC. Among many artefacts from the Northern Grave is a gold earring with a pendant in the shape of a sphinx figure. Several similar finds come mainly from the Bosporus and are dated to the second half of the 4th century BC. This luxurious decoration is an important marker of the social and gender status of the deceased.
