A handmade carved wooden cookie mould inspired by an ancient Scythian anthropomorphic stele from the collection of the Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local History.
The mould depicts an Anthropomorphic stele made from carved limestone and dating to the Scythian culture of the 5th century BC. It was accidentally discovered in the village of Ternivka (now part of Mykolaiv) in 1955 and, according to legend, originated from a steppe barrow near Ternivka.

Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local History is one of the largest local history museums in Ukraine, housing over 400,000 exhibits. In September 2022, the museum’s building was heavily damaged by intense shelling, and restoration work on the exhibition is still ongoing. War is a particularly crucial time for museums to remain visible because they preserve national memory, shape the identity of the people, dispel myths, and motivate Ukrainians to engage with their own history.
