Saka Princess tomb-chest
The burial site of the high ranking young woman was discovered during reconstruction of the Taskesken- Bakty road in the Urdzhar region
The Saka Princess headgear and the stone altar are clearly visible left of the skull
The archeologist had to expand the hole to extract the tomb for further study. As a result they discovered that sides of the tomb walls were laid with boulders
Wooden and clay wares were discovered in the tomb
A stone altar
A golden earring and a possible element of the headgear
The headgear was made of pure gold
She is called Saka Princess because the headgear is similar to the one found with the Golden Man
The tomb was laid with rocks on the outside
For all the 34 photo's go to
