Рентгенофлюоресцентный анализ металлических изделий из скального погребения Узуур-Гялана (Монгольский Алтай)

Abstract

The article describes the metalwork of the Uzuur Gyalan rock burial, popularly known online in 2016 as the «Adidas Mummy». The definitions and chemical composition of the metalware were compared with those of the time in the region. According to the results of the comparative study, the composition of the bronze mirror is very different from other bronze objects. However, bridles, saddle plaques, and ligaments are similar to the main non-ferrous metals in the region, but appear to have local characteristics. Further detailed comparative studies of the chemical composition of non-ferrous metal products in the tenth century are important steps in establishing regional cultural relations.
