You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That’s a good-looking mummy!

The bird-figurine is a fairly obvious belt buckle. About 20 years ago in the Tien-Shan Mts portion of the Silk Road, a tall Scotsman, kilt and all, dating from the same period, was found in mummified condition. It was surmised then that these guys were making some hay on these trade routes to the East. If you just turn people loose, they can find and exploit markets!

Modern historians suppose that the wealth of the Bjarmians was due to their profitable trade along the Dvina, the Kama River and the Volga to Bolghar and other trading settlements in the south. Along this route, silver coins and other merchandise were exchanged for pelts and walrus tusks brought by the Bjarmians. In fact, burial sites in modern Perm Krai are the richest source of Sasanian and Sogdian silverware from Iran

Fyodorova suggests that the smashing of the skulls may have been done soon after death
'to render protection from mysterious spells believed to emanate from the deceased'. to keep 'em from coming back as zombies.Geez! Everybody knows that!

It really paints an odd picture.
