介绍（中）	在主饰带中是希腊人和野蛮人之间的战斗;在左端站着两只狮鹫。楣板上方的不规则区域显示鹿被狮子杀死，另一只被狮鹫杀死。这种金色装饰来自的剑鞘应该是另一种材料，可能是青铜或铁。这种精心装饰的剑鞘将成为一套斯基泰武器的一部分，通常包括剑、弓和弓鞘。斯基泰人是公元前一千年生活在欧亚草原上的游牧民族。虽然刀鞘是斯基泰式的，但装饰是希腊风格，无疑是希腊工艺。来自希腊北部Vergina皇家公墓的类似金属板金制品以及北庞蒂克地区（黑海周围）斯基泰统治者的库尔干人（墓葬）也与同一作坊有关。
介绍（英）	In the main frieze is a battle between Greeks and barbarians; at the left end stand two griffins. The irregular field above the frieze shows deer being killed, one by a lion, the other by a griffin. The scabbard from which this gold decoration came would have been of another material, possibly bronze or iron. Such an elaborately embellished scabbard would have formed part of a ceremonial set of Scythian weapons typically including a sword, a bow, and a bow sheath. The Scythians were a nomadic people who lived in the Eurasian steppes during the first millennium B.C. Although the scabbard is of Scythian type, the decoration is Greek in style and undoubtedly of Greek workmanship. Similar sheet-metal goldwork from the royal cemetery at Vergina in northern Greece and from kurgans (burial mounds) of Scythian rulers in the North Pontic region (around the Black Sea) have been linked to the same workshop.
