This is one of the earliest
representations of Scythians on a Greek vase--the neck
frieze of an Attic volute krater (570 -560 BCE) showing the
Calydonian boar hunt. |

This fragment of an Attic
Black-Figured Amphora of 540 BCE shows an archer and grazing
horse. The representation of the archer has all the features
which are typical of Scythians on vase paintings in this
period: pointed hat (cut off), pointed beard ("goat-tee"),
"body-suit" decorated with a variety of patterns,
gorytos (a combination of a quiver and a bow-case),
bow, and bare feet. |
