My favourite founding, ear-ring of premongols time. It can be as old
as 1000 years or even older. This reminds me of good, old times when
women in my area have been a blonds and I'd wear this.
Unfortunately the other piece has not been found
and I sent this and other items in museum of archaeology. If I had two
ear-rings or one ear, I'd wear this beautiful ear-ring.
The church burried not only last defenders, but also freedom loving
spirit of our people. For the next 750 years Ukraine have not been
existing as independent state.
It was part of Lithuania or Poland or Turkey or Russian empire.
No way to find Ukrainian coins, those are turkish and polish coins. I don't know their value in 16 century.
But I know value of 19 century Russian coins. Before revolution 1917 it was a daily wage for some unskilled day-labourer.
Set me back in time with handful of those coins, I could buy a cart of fish or I'd rather hang in tavern all night. This
days a daily wage in Ukraine is 20 hryvnas. With 20 hryvnas I can only
buy a fishes tail, some bear, sit on the bench, in some park,
wondering- why the hell they did this revolution and where 100 years of
progress went to.
