The author of those, four silver and 1 gold earrings were found near the head of the skeleton; each earring consisted of a metal wire, the ends of which were not soldered, but twisted into a knot, beads were put on the wires, but 3 or one for each, the beads were made of faceted rock crystal, glass and compositions; The earrings, on which 3 beads are worn, represent the prototype of the earring with three spikes that was established in the later, princely period of history, which in a significant number of copies was found in different areas of the Kyiv reign and is usually described in museums under the name of the earring found “at the Church of the Tithes.”
At the head of the skeleton lay beads, 7 of which have survived (6 of greenish glass and 1 of a dark composition) and an Abbasid dirhem with an eye attached to it for hanging; This coin turned out to be, according to I. F. Gottwald (in Kazan), the dirhem of Caliph Abu Jafar al-Mansur (754-775), minted in Kufa in the year 142 Gijra (764). Then, near the lumbar vertebrae of the skeleton, the following were found: a small block of beautiful multi-colored grinding stone, trimmed in the form of a tetrahedral prism, with a drill at one end and an iron bracket for hanging, and two silver plaques (4 septimeters in length and width), carved in the form of crosses with widened ends; These plaques are decorated with an ornament consisting of dots; one of them is equipped with an eye for hanging, the other was nailed into some wooden object. All metal objects testified to the lack of ability to solder metals at that time: the ear attached to the coin was nailed to it with nails; one of the cruciform plaques was broken and then repaired by means of another plaque placed on top and nailed down.
