"The Golden Deer of Eurasia: Scythian and Sarmatian Treasures from the Russian Steppes"
2000-10-12 until 2001-02-04
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA

This exhibition displays spectacular finds of gold and silver recently excavated at Filippovka in southern Russia—works that have never been seen in the United States—along with related Scythian, Sarmatian, and Siberian splendors from the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

Created around the late 5th to 4th century B.C. by nomads living in the southern Ural Mountain region of Russia, the distinctive works from Filippovka include deerlike creatures of wood overlaid with sheets of gold and silver, along with other striking objects of precious metals.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue.

The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, and the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, Center for Ethnological Studies, Ufa Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bashkortostan, Russian Federation.

An indemnity has been granted by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. The exhibition catalogue is made possible by the Doris Duke Fund for Publications.
