Gold Temporal Rings with a Small Duck from the Perm Cis-Urals
Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 16
Abstract
The author examines a typical Bulgarian precious adornment – gold temple rings with a filigree duck figurine. He considers their area, manufacturing technology, issues of origin, dating and semantics. Such pendants are thought to be an ethno-social marker of the Volga Bulgaria nobility. Findings of such rings outside Bulgaria, including imported items, are known only in the Perm Cis-Urals, which is thought to be their local manufacturing center. This suggests that representatives of the Bulgarian nobility lived there and possibly married the elite of the Cis-Uralic Finno-Ugrians, who were in the process of their feudalization.
