In 1982, in mound 28 of the burial site Vysochino VII was discovered a complex of objects made of gold and silver. They were used during the rites that preceded the burial. The ritual objects were carefully hidden: away from the grave pit, before its construction, there were arranged two caches. There were placed funeral gifts — tableware made of precious metals. And then, at the end of the ceremony, both caches were covered with soil from the grave pit. This has saved the precious ancient objects from plunder: it was easier for relic hunters ​​to penetrate the burial site than to find the small caches away from it.

It is difficult to say exactly where the bowl from the Vysochinsky mound was made: such objects are always scarce, and it is possible to tell the place of their production only with a greater or lesser degree of probability. But the ancient artist who created this piece of jewellery was apparently well acquainted with the highly artistic glassmaking workshops of the eastern provinces. Metal products from the Sarmatian mounds of the Lower Don region speak of contacts between the steppe zone population of the Eastern Europe and the states of Transcaucasia, Parthia and the Roman provinces.

When examining the funeral caches, the archaeologists also found a silver sieve inside the bowl. It was also hemispherical in shape, and its small round holes formed two types of ornament on its surface — floral and geometric. The bottom was also decorated with a rosette image, but with six petals. Apparently, the sieve was intended for filtering wine and was used together with the golden bowl during the rite. The ritual libations of pure wine, a form of bloodless sacrifice to deities, were popular with some nomadic tribes in ancient times.
