Description
Summary:The article describes and attributes six tin plaques found in the north of Western Siberia, at a site held sacred by the Mansi. The study suggests that their motifs are associated with the  gure of the Biblical King David, and proposes that these objects are of Russian origin, dating back to the initial period of the Russian advancement into Western Siberia in the early 16th century. Статья посвящена описанию и атрибуции шести оловянных бляшек, найденных на севере Западной Сибири на территории священного места манси. Выдвинута версия о том, что их сюжеты связаны с фигурой библейского царя Давида. Предполагается, что данные изделия имеют русское происхождение и относятся ко времени первоначального продвижения русских людей в Западную Сибирь в начале XVI в.
