A Tiny Silver Door to the Afterlife? Muroma Teenager's Grave Explored
An early medieval Muroma burial ground in western Russia has yielded the discovery of an exquisitely outfitted grave of a young female, which includes an exceptionally stunning silver decoration that was presumably meant to symbolize her transition through the gate for her soul as a part of her burial.
The unique artifact, discovered at the Zvyagino burial site located in the Vachsky District in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia, is a sizable disc-shaped silver plate consisting of a smaller circular lid affixed centrally to its body. It is speculated that the lid may have been opened to a certain extent during the burial rites, thus serving to convert the decoration into a door through which departed souls pass.
The burial can be tentatively dated to the late seventh or early eighth century, which makes it one of the earliest graves currently studied at the cemetery. It seems the deceased was a young female who was buried with an ornate ceremonial dress that featured many decorations.
A Young Woman Buried in Ceremonial Dress
Archaeologists recovered elements of a complex headdress, temple rings, a forehead band, leather strips decorated with metal fittings, and two rigid neck rings. Greenish traces of oxidized metal preserved in the soil also revealed the outline of a garment once covered with tiny beads.
According to Anastasia Shvetsova, head of the archaeology sector at the Nizhny Novgorod Museum-Reserve, the headdress may have included decorated cords that crossed above the head. These could have supported a tall textile covering or formed part of an elaborate hairstyle in which strands of hair were wrapped in leather and bronze spirals. When worn, the ornaments may have created a halo-like frame around the woman’s head.
