Ice maiden mummy, Siberia
Ice maiden mummy in a display cabinet at the Siberian branch of the Russian Institute for Archeology and Ethnography. Also known as the Altai Princess or Ukok Princess, this womans mummified body was found frozen in her burial mound (kurgan) in 1993, on the Ukok Plateau, high in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia. Thought to be 2500 years old, she was found buried with horses and many artefacts. She was from the Pazyryk people, a Scythian culture.
