Abstract

An interesting source about the culture of the population of any era is the costume, which is archaeologically fixed for the most part with the help of preserved metal parts. In the Hunno-Sarmatian period, various jewelry made of gold, bronze, using stones and paste became widespread in women's costume. Many of these items were decorated in polychrome style. Their classification allows us to obtain more complete information about the formation of costume traditions of the time in question, and the role of jewelry made in polychrome style in social symbolism. These include tiaras, temple pendants, earrings, and rings. They are characterized by certain artistic solutions related to the proclamative nature of the language of art. Ancient craftsmen sought to increase the shape of jewelry by using other materials, grain techniques, large inserts of stones and pastes as a base.
