Rarity: Sarmatian gold drop earrings artefacts are very rare. Many people mistake them for Scythian items which are just as valuable but are in much more abundance. The rarity of Sarmatian artefacts comes from their burial traditions. Sarmatians lived in steppe of Eastern Europe and Asia and did not make kurgans (burial grave hills) leaving very little visual trace of their civilization. Simply discovering their artefacts in vast grasslands of Eurasia is very difficult for archaeologists. Second rarity factor is that Samarians were not known for the use of gold drop earrings even by royalty, so any gold drop earrings artefacts that are attributed to Sarmatians are of very high importance from both cultural and financial perspective.
Scientific discovery: During the restoration of Sarmatian gold drop earrings Necklace expert restorers from Lithuanian Art Museum Restoration Center found ancient technology (tree resin dielectric insulator) that no one knew existed before. This discovery allows to state that Sarmatian gold drop earrings Necklace holds very high scientific and historical value.
Fame: In 2004 Sarmatians were made famous by Hollywood after release of the movie “King Arthur” staring Clive Owen. The film portrayed King Arthur (played by Clive Owen) as half Sarmatian who, along with his Sarmatian brothers served the Roman Empire in Britain.
