Discovered at Kerch in early 1830's - a photo on Flickriver

            This mask is a complete mystery.  It has two bullet holes in the top of its forehead and has been described as not being a death mask.  It was discovered along with a silver bowl with the name Rescuporides circa 1830 (Anna code 152). The local museum in Kerch was visited in 1837 by Tsar Nicholas I where he met the museum curator Anton Ashik.  The mask is now on display at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg and yet why is it only being mentioned in books after 2010? (The book is The Hermitage - Treasures of World Art by Arca publishers). I spent at least 15 years scouting all the books on Scythian treasure searching for the original bracelet used by Faberge to make their famous copy in the 1880's. This mask is described as being much older than all the other treasure found in the burial mound. I guess it would cause an even bigger problem if it was described as being much younger and being some sort of "after thought".
