Abstract

Twenty six precious items from the Varvara and Bohdan Khanenko collection discovered in the Oguz kurgan (Lower Dnieper region) are analyzed in the paper. These items were found by peasants in the fall of 1901 in the destroyed part of the kurgan and ended up to the hands of antiquities traders. Now these items are kept in the Museum of Historical Treasures of Ukraine. The study of objects made us possible to conclude that only decorative items for horse equipment were of unconditional origin from Oguz kurgan (fig. 1—2). These items complement the finds that are kept in the State Hermitage (Sankt-Peterburg, Russia) and also come from the Oguz kurgan. Together they are four completes sets of decoration of horse bridle of so-called Chertomlyk type. Some round plaques (fig. 1: 4—5) were used for saddles decoration. The total number of such plaques indicates that 9 or 10 saddles were found. This determines the total number of horses buried in the Central tomb of the Oguz kurgan. The cone (fig. 2) served as a decoration for the horse’s neck. Five more such items are kept in the State Hermitage. They were found only in the Oguz kurgan. The significant part of other items (upholstery of a wooden bowl, jewelry, appliquйs (fig. 3) were probably found by peasants in other steppe kurgans which were robbed by diggers at the beginning of the 20th century. Two small appliquйs (fig. 3: 5—6) probably come from the necropolises of ancient Greek colonies, possibly Chersonesos. Unfortunately, almost all items from old or modern private collections lose the historical context in which they were found. Probably, some items (fig. 1: 6—9; 3: 3—4, 7—8) were «restored» by antiquities dealers and, as a result, lost their authentic appearance.
varvara和bohdan khanenko收藏中的oguz kurgan物品(基于乌克兰历史宝藏博物馆的材料)
本文对Oguz kurgan(下第聂伯河地区)发现的Varvara和Bohdan Khanenko收藏的26件珍贵物品进行了分析。1901年秋天,农民们在库尔干被摧毁的部分发现了这些物品,最终落入了古董商人的手中。现在这些物品被保存在乌克兰历史宝藏博物馆。对物品的研究使我们可以得出结论,只有马匹装备的装饰物品是无条件起源于奥古兹库尔干(图1-2)。这些物品补充了保存在国家冬宫(俄罗斯圣彼得堡)的发现,也来自奥古兹库尔干。它们一起是四套完整的所谓的Chertomlyk型马笼头装饰。一些圆形斑块(图1:4-5)用于鞍座装饰。这种斑块的总数表明发现了9或10个鞍。这决定了奥古斯库尔干中央墓中埋葬的马的总数。这个圆锥体(图2)作为马脖子的装饰。另外五件这样的物品保存在国家冬宫。它们只在奥古斯库尔干被发现。其他物品的重要部分(木碗的内饰,珠宝,appliquйs(图3)可能是由20世纪初被挖掘者抢劫的其他草原库尔干人的农民发现的。两个小appliquйs(图3:5 - 6)可能来自古希腊殖民地的墓地,可能是Chersonesos。不幸的是,几乎所有来自古代或现代私人收藏的物品都失去了它们被发现的历史背景。可能,有些项目(图1:6-9;(3:3 - 4,7 - 8)被古董商“修复”,结果失去了原貌。
