- Abstract
- The article is devoted to the analysis of the knife's pommel from the Seima-Turbino burial ground Rostovka near Omsk. The phenomenon of metallurgy of Seima-Turbino communities changed dramatically the technological standards of bronze casting industry of the North Eurasia at the end of the 3 rd millennium - first centuries of the 2 nd millennium BC. But the problem of ethnical and linguistic affiliation has not been solved yet. The author suggests the existence of an Indo-Aryan component in the Seima-Turbino groupings. The evidence of such substrate is the informative meanings of the sculptural mise en scene of the knife from Ros-tovka. The parallels are drawn between the ornamentation of the tail and the mane of the horse from Rostovka on one hand and the mix of a Vedic source and a Mitanni image on the other hand. The meaning of the composition with a skier pulled by the horse correlates with the Ashvamedha.
