HERMÈS LES CAVALIERS D'OR SCARF

This exquisite scarf, crafted by Dimitri Rybaltchenko, known as Rybal, holds a significant place in history. In 1975, it was specially commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to complement the exhibition 'The Gold of the Scythians.' Subsequently displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris in 1976, the scarf beautifully captures elements from Asia predating the Christian era. The Scythians, renowned for their mastery in goldsmithing, exerted a profound influence on jewelry art. Adorned with intricate depictions of horsemen and animals, the scarf echoes the opulence of this ancient civilization, showcasing a mesmerizing array of artifacts such as hair combs, pectorals, amulets, and clothing buckles.
