Description

This small male figure was found at the far north eastern borders of Ancient Rus', on Vaigatch Island in the Kama River, a tributary of the Volga. Its significance is mysterious - obviously a warrior in a mail coat but it could as easily be a Christian saint as a pagan god. The original was 7.2 cm long, and made of bronze.
