Sunghir Burial

This is another superb recreation of the Sungir burial above, from a Czech site. The illustration is © Libor Balák

Two children, aged 8 and 13, buried head to head with elaborately decorated clothes and other jewellery. Notice that the perforated disc is shown here as being atop a wooden lance.
