Oos atakhtakh choron, kumiss vessel, goblet-shaped, with a round body on three carved stems shaped like horse legs with hoofs. The vessel’s surface is decorated over the whole periphery with a carved geometric and botanical ornament: arched (“mare’s nipple”), ribbed, zigzagged, herringbone. The foot of one stem has a brand shaped like a figured letter H, with a cross at the top and a three-part symbol at the bottom. The narrow part of the neck has a copper ring. Abstract by V.V.
