| My favourite founding, ear-ring of premongols
time. It can be as old as 1000 years or even older. This reminds
me of good, old times when women in my area have been a blonds
and I'd wear this.
Unfortunately the other piece has not been
found and I sent this and other items in museum of archaeology.
If I had two ear-rings or one ear, I'd wear this beautiful ear-ring.
The church burried not only last defenders, but also freedom
loving spirit of our people. For the next 750 years Ukraine have
not been existing as independent state.
It was part of Lithuania or Poland or Turkey or Russian
empire.
No way to find Ukrainian coins, those are
turkish and polish coins. I don't know their value in 16 century.
But I know value of 19 century Russian coins. Before
revolution 1917 it was a daily wage for some unskilled day-labourer.
Set me back in time with handful of those coins, I could buy
a cart of fish or I'd rather hang in tavern all night.
This days a daily wage in Ukraine is 20 hryvnas. With 20 hryvnas
I can only buy a fishes tail, some bear, sit on the bench, in
some park, wondering- why the hell they did this revolution and
where 100 years of progress went to.
