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.
