At the time, there were no indigenous photographers in the country, and images of the Quechua people were mostly captured through the lenses of French and American photographers.

Western Kazakhstani archaeologists have finally displayed the exclusive artifacts found in the ancient burial discovered in 2012, Tengrinews reports citing Moi Gorod and West Kazakhstan Oblast Center for History and Archaeology. Temple pendants [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The ancient burial containing remains of a noble woman was discovered in Terekty district in Western Kazakhstan Oblast two years ago and was declared the oldest "golden" burial on the territory of Kazakhstan. Reconstruction of the Golden Princess [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] This is one of the burials in the "golden series", meaning a mound containing golden fragments along with a skeleton. One such mound, discovered in south-eastern Kazakhstan in 1969, had warrior's equipment and assorted funerary goods that included 4,000 golden fragments and was dubbed the Golden Man. The Headdress and pommel [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The archaeological find made two years ago in West Kazakhstan contained the skeleton of a noble woman in the burial mound called Taksay-1. Variously shaped plaques depicting heads of rams and griffins [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] Next to the body there were all sorts of gold and silver vessels, makeup kits, remnants of richly decorated headdress and many pieces of golden jewelry. A horse bridle and household items that were believed to be necessary in the afterlife were also found. The sleeves of the garment were adorned with wolf fangs in gold rim [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The noble woman was covered with a blanket embroidered with golden plaques and there were more than 500 different golden fragments, which earned the woman her name - the Golden Woman or the Golden Princess. Gold beads of biconical shape [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The artifact of particular importance was a wooden comb depicting a battle scene in the war of the Saks against the Persians. Golden bracelets [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] Prominent scientists and research centers of Japan, Germany and Russia were attracted to the uniqueness of the burial and studied the findings along with their Kazakhstani colleagues. Mirror [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The latest breakthrough in the work allowed Murat Sdykov, head of West Kazakhstan Oblast Center for History and Archaeology, to identify the age of the burial. “The results of laboratory studies showed that the burial dates back to 4-5 centuries BC,” Sdykov said. Bronze cauldron [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] “The richness of the burial speaks about the status of the buried woman. It points that there were few rich people in that period and that the society was already stratified. Brazier [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] There are two other kurgans [mounds] next to Taksay, which we will excavate next year. It is noteworthy that this mound had not been damaged or looted,” Sdykov said. Comb with composition depicting a battle scene between two soldiers in a chariot and their enemy, a single foot soldier, is inscribed in the rectangular space in the center of the crest/comb [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] The burial mound was made around a wooden structure that sagged a long time ago. At some point tomb robbers attempted to raid the burial but, fortunately, failed to reach the burial chamber itself. Taksay-1, Mound 6, containing the burial of the 'Golden Princess' [Credit: Krym Altynbekov] Reconstruction of the garment was entrusted to the famous restorer Krym Altynbekov. Thanks to his work, one can now see what Golden Princess might have looked like 2500 years ago. Gold plaques of four types were sewn on the upper part of the garment: differently shaped geometric pieces depicted ram griffins, rams, griffins and swastikas. Scientists call them solar, implying worship of the sun characteristic for the nomads of the time, which is also supported by the "Avesta", the core collection of sacred Zoroastrianism texts. Golden Woman is one of the most astonishing archaeological findings of the recent years. It sheds some light on the wealth and power of the ancient Scythians [Saks]. The Saka were a group of nomadic warrior tribes of Iranian origin, who inhabited the steppes of modern-day Kazakhstan in 1 thousand BC to first centuries AD.

Female Figure Representations of female figures with highly abstracted forms occur throughout most of the Predynastic Period. On statuettes of this period, the legs are usually not articulated and the faces are beaklike. This rare undamaged example, one of the oldest works in the Brooklyn Museum, was found in a burial excavated by the Museum's first archaeological expedition in Egypt. The symbolism, function, and identity of the figure are not certain. However, similar female figures painted on Predynastic vessels appear to be goddesses, because they are always larger than the male "priests" shown with them. Medium: Terracotta, painted Reportedly From: Ma'mariya, Egypt Dates: ca. 3500-3400 B.C.E. Period: Predynastic Period, Naqada IIa Period Dimensions: 11 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 2 1/4 in. (29.2 x 14 x 5.7 cm) Collections: Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Middle Eastern Art www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/4225/Female...
