О БРАСЛЕТАХ С ЗООМОРФНЫМИ ОКОНЧАНИЯМИ ИЗ МОГИЛЬНИКА ДЖУРГА-ОБА В ВОСТОЧНОМ КРЫМУ (ЭПОХА ВЕЛИКОГО ПЕРЕСЕЛЕНИЯ НАРОДОВ)

The paper considers burial 40 of Dzhurga Oba necropolis in the Eastern Crimea. Two bracelets, elements of a prestigious female costume of the second half of the 5th century and weapons (sword elements) were found in the catacomb. It is possible that there were two inhumations – male and female ones. Two bronze gilded bracelets from this burial have gold zoomorphic endings in the form of heads, usually interpreted as dragons, and a hinged lock in the form of a disk. The origins of this type of bracelets should be sought in the traditions of Mediterranean jewelry art. Bracelets with a lock in the form of a plate on hinges appeared in the Mediterranean in the 2nd – 3rd centuries and existed until the 7th century (inclusive). It should be noted that there is a noticeable Byzantine / Mediterranean component in the female costume from Dzhurga Oba, which is represented primarily by the cloisonne inlay style jewelry – earrings, rings, bracelets. At the same time, the presence of a pair of brooches from the East German tradition indicates the mixed character of the female prestigious costume from Dzhurga-Oba, which is typical for the Cimmerian Bosporus of the Great Migration Period
