Summary

Description
Català: Vas d'or amb representació d'escites, kurgan de Kul-Oba, segona meitat del segle IV aC. Exhibt a l'exposició Ermitage. Tresors de l'arqueologia russa al MARQ.

El vas d'or del kurgan de Kul-Oba és un dels màxims exponents de l'estil escito-grec i narra, potser, un episodi històric transmés per Heròdot.

Aquest vas d'or, la funció del qual podria ser ritual, és un clar exemple de l'estil decoratiu escito-grec. Localitzat al kurgan de Kul-Oba, al costat del cos d'una possible sacersotessa, es data al voltant de la segona meitat del segle IV aC.

La decoració principal, en relleu, es disposa sobre un fris on apareixen diversos personatges, entre els quals destaca un escita que tensa la corda del seu arc. Aquesta imatge ens recorda l'episodi que descriu Heròdot sobre l'origen dels escites, segons la qual, Escita, el fill més jove d'Hèracles, es converteix en rei d'Escítia després de superar una prova: tensar l'arc de son pare, cosa que no pogueren aconseguir els seus germans majors, també representats al vas, i que resultaren ferits als peus i a la mandíbula en intentar-ho.

No es tracta d'una escena de la vida quotidiana sinó, potser, d'una narració èpica o mitològica reflectida, probablement, per un artesà grec doncs les figures estan representades amb un gran realisme.
