You could add the battle between Persians and Skythians on the Miho Museum pectoral. See link – click on the small picture for further illustrations, notably link and link |

People might also be interested to know that the British Museum is putting on an exhibition on the Scythians later in the year. link |

Thanks Druzhina, Really interesting and very useful (bookmarked!) |

Thanks all. I will add the Miho pectoral. One thing I have noticed is that most depictions have no headgear and of those that do – many are by non-Skythians. Do most modern reconstructions, such as in the British Museum link, have headgear based on grave finds? Druzhina Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers |
