“…In Colchis, similar items have been dated broadly to the pre-Hellenistic period beginning in the 6th century BC. In the design of the Vettersfelde sword sheath, especially in the protrusion at the top, one can recognize Early Scythian influence in the item's similarity to the stray find of a bronze scabbard from Firminiş (Matei 1977, Figure 1). However, this typological similarity to Early Scythian designs is probably the result of the continuous evolution of the Middle Scythian-period sheaths of the Shumeyko type rather than the direct influence of imported objects.…”

The “ceremonial” forms of swords and daggers—that is, bladed weapons decorated with precious metals—occupy a special place in the culture of the early nomads. For the Scythian period, we know at least 76 ceremonial objects from 61 sites, corresponding to 3.5% of the total sample. More than half of the finds come from the northern Black Sea region (mainly Ukraine). Ceremonial forms are represented in all morphological categories (from daggers to extra-long swords), but their distribution is slightly different. Most akinakai belong to the average and long swords. Most Scythian akinakai in Eurasia belong to the dagger and short sword groups. Although most Scythian swords and daggers fall into the Middle Scythian period, most ceremonial forms belong to the last phase of Classical Scythian culture. This period is a veritable “golden autumn” of Scythia with its huge royal burial mounds and abundance of gold, perfectly illustrating our argument that conspicuous consumption coincides with periods of political and social instability. After the peak of the proliferation of ceremonial akinakai in the third quarter of the 4th century BC, we observe a generation later the complete disappearance of Classical Scythian culture, along with its characteristic weapons, horse harnesses, and animal style.

“…The design of the sword's sheath is quite specific. One can see the influence of early Scythian specimens from Transylvania – for example, on a stray find at Firminiș (Matei 1977, fig. 1; 1978, Abb.…”

Among all the hoards containing ceremonial akinakai, (swords and daggers of Iranian origin), the assemblage of items discovered in 1882 near the village of Vettersfelde (Poland) is the most internally coherent. Judging by the motifs present on the golden objects richly decorated in the animal stylea fish-shaped plaque, a clover-shaped phalera and a sheath ornament of a sword they make up a unified ensemble, most likely the result of one ritual event. The source of the items from Vettersfelde is usually associated with the Milesian colonies of the Pontic region, in which a certain artistic bilingualism is documented, with both Greek and 'barbarian' influences to be seen. Most likely, the choice of visual metaphors in the narrative was not accidental but something recognized both by the creator and the recipient. If the provenance for its manufacture is extended beyond the northern or western coast of the Black Sea, then the Milesian colonies of Eastern Greece could also claim that role. In particular, for a number of reasons, Cyzicus is a suitable candidate. 'It's still magic even if you know how it's done.'
