Great pictures, Cyrus, thank you. Are the bracelets, amphoras, and bowls tribute articles? The birds on the bracelets remind me on the Scythian griffins http://whc.unesco.org/uploads/news/documents/news-433-1.pdf - http://whc.unesco.org/uploads/news/documents/news-433-1.pdf http://books.google.com/books?id=ciZquFt9IFIC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136&dq=scythian+bracelets+with+griffons&source=bl&ots=pDSBBO8vnF&sig=zt7vnLbzQYAlnN77jXl2GAYZMwE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ubpOT-7lEePniAL2x7y3Cw&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=scythian%20bracelets%20with%20griffons&f=false - http://books.google.com/books?id=ciZquFt9IFIC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136&dq=scythian+bracelets+with+griffons&source=bl&ots=pDSBBO8vnF& http://books.google.com/books?id=ciZquFt9IFIC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136&dq=scythian+bracelets+with+griffons&source=bl&ots=pDSBBO8vnF&sig=zt7vnLbzQYAlnN77jXl2GAYZMwE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ubpOT-7lEePniAL2x7y3Cw&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=scythian%20bracelets%20with%20griffons&f=false - sig=zt7vnLbzQYAlnN77jXl2GAYZMwE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ubpOT-7lEePniAL2x7y3Cw&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=scythian%20bracelets%20with%20griffons&f=false Scythians as depicted in Persepolis, with the same position of the bracelets: http://www.kavehfarrokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saka-Tigrakhauda-at-Persepolis.jpg">  And Herodotus talks about Daruis invading the European Scythians, in his 4th book http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.4.iv.html - http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.4.iv.html ------------- |

Yes, those are tributes but about the bracelet, that one seems to be Syrian, not Scythian, because those are Syrian tribute bearers.
