Sarmatian bottle and lid (1st century CE, reproduction)

Metropolitan Museum of Art

#AncientBlueSky🏺
A Sarmatian bottle and lid (1st century AD, reproduction) refers to 19th-century electrotype copies made by firms like Elkington & Co., replicating precious ancient Sarmatian vessels (often perfume containers or flasks) from the 1st century AD, featuring intricate animal styles (like lions or elk) and precious inlay, found in elite burials and showcasing Sarmatian nomadic artistry for broader public display in museums like The Met. The actual 1st-century AD Sarmatian bottles were elaborate, often gold, items from rich burials (like the "Treasure of Novocherkassk") and used for perfume or liquids, reflecting their "animal style" art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds such reproductions, acquired in the late 19th century, like the "Sarmatian bottle and lid" (Object Number 83.18.254) In essence, you're looking at a Victorian-era copy of a significant ancient nomadic artifact, prized for its detailed craftsmanship and connection to the Sarmatian people, nomadic warriors known for their elaborate art.

Almost-done Sarmatian leather-armoured lancers (“that’s ‘Medium Cavalry’ to you Chief”) - trigger warning, may appear as other generic “blokes on horses with too much hair” in future batreps. #15mm #Sarmatian (is that a hashtag?) #FiB #ADLG

Creature #09
Sarmatian Sea Snail 🐌

(Read about in the ALT text)

#cryptid #folklore #fantasyart
For some reason, this is my favourite! The Sarmatian Sea Snail was a very odd creature that was depicted by a medieval bestiary entitled ’On Monsters and Marvels’, by a French surgeon named Ambroise Pare. In this book was a report of a massive, pawed, antlered, and completely grotesque gastropod from the Sarmatian (an early name for the Baltic) Sea. An enormous snail, the size of a barrel. It has antlers like those of a stag, equipped with gleaming, pearl-like tips. It has a rounded cat-like snout with whiskers, and glowing eyes that light its path like candles. Its mouth is deeply slit, and a hideous fleshy excrescence dangles below it. Its neck is thick, and its tail is long, multicoloured, and mottled like a tiger’s. Unlike most other snails, it has four feet. The book claims the snail was last seen in Denmark in the 16th Century - but I’m hopeful ^^

The FiB Sarmatian-fest continues with some "Medium" cavalry - aka "unarmoured", "standard", "generic" or whatever. I'm not even sure which packs they came from, they are mostly armed with short spears, no shield, and a bowcase and bow on their hips madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/09/sarm...
