The Scytho-Sakian people of southern Kazakhstan, the fabled Scythian horsemen, fashioned objects of adornment in elegant, animal forms from gold, bronze and wood which are on display. Creatures that inhabited the region north of the Tian Shan Mountains ? horses, tigers, snow leopards, deer, ibexes and panthers are among the animals portrayed as intricate, stylized, sculptural ornaments in the Wild Animal Style, a synthesis of foreign and indigenous design developed by the Scytho-Sakian culture. This ongoing event will be held from now until Apr. 15, 2007.
