Author-led Guided Tour by Anna Serhiienko: "On Symbols of Power (and Not Only!)"

Author-led Guided Tour by Anna Serhiienko: "On Symbols of Power (and Not Only!)"

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "symbols of power"? Currently, the official symbols of the Head of our State are the flag, mace, seal, and presidential collar.

But how much do you know about the attributes of power held by Scythian rulers? Why is the famous Scythian pectoral considered much more than just a precious decoration? And were there other objects in the Scythian era that represented high status and power?

We invite you to discuss this (and much more!) on the eve of Independence Day during Anna Serhiienko's author-led guided tour, "On Symbols of Power (and Not Only!)."
