Permian bronze casts
Permian bronze casts were produced by the Komi and Udmurt people between the 4th and the 14th centuries. Their size is 3–17 cm.[1] Their style is referred to as the 'Permian animal style.'[1]
Permian bronze casts were buried in cemeteries and were protected by customs. Foreigners were less hesitant to loot sacred places. A large collection was amassed by the Stroganov family in Perm.[1][2]
