I think that's the bust modelled on one of the Sarmatian women's skulls
found at Pokrovka. Jeannine Davis-Kimball excavated here, with the
permission of the Russians. She found female weapons-burials where
the graves included the Sarmatian long-swords (~spathas) but with
the grip suitably reduced in length to fit the female hand. And the
bodies in these graves showed sword cut-marks on the skulls, proving
that the weapons weren't just for show. :wink:
