Pommel in the form of a Scythian Goddess (Artimpasa?) from Alexandropol Kurgan 4th C. BCE

"The misspelling 'Argimpasa' can be easily explained as a banal mistake of the scribe, who wrote G instead of T. The Iranian Goddess Arti, considered a patron of fertility and marriage (Nyberg 1938: 66, 262; Abayev 1962: 449), was also worshipped by the Sogdians, closely affiliated with the Scythians, as 'rtωγ', *Art(i)vax, Good Arti (Abayev 1962: 450). Nyberg (1938: 254) regarded Artimpasa as basically a fertility Goddess, while Vasmer (1923: 12) emphasized her ethical role as the guardian of laws.
