Along with the buried horse have been found bells [6.3] of copper with iron tongue and horse face-masks of copper sheet with conical knobs rivetted with iron pins at the back and the whole mounted on leather base. It may be pointed out that similar masks have been found in s. Russia and Iran where they are assigned to the Scythians. They have also been reported in Siberia especially in the Altai region.
