Studiu asupra perspectivei tipologice a aplicelor vestimentare ceremoniale scitice
Typology Perspective in Scythian Ceremonial Clothes Appliques Study

Summary/Abstract: There is an attempt to start a dialogue concerning problems of making the typology of gold appliques. The main remarks, comments and sticking points, which I have experienced during dissertation research, are described here. Here I raise the question of what material can be considered as precious clothes appliques and why. The article describes the process of creating an author's typology, analyses its strengths and weaknesses. Arguments in favour of the selected principles and criteria for the selected types, subgroups, groups and clusters. Here are some conclusions that were obtained through the analysis of clothes appliques. As a result, one could conclude that with such colourful material, the lack of universal features is not always a problem for typological constructions. Most likely, such a typology simply cannot have clear criteria.
