Yes :^)
It's jewellery art of medieval epoch, 4-8th centuries. First row - jewellery art of the Huns, who invaded south Ukraine lands in the 370's. Second - art of the Avars (nomad Turkic-speaking tribes), and third - Khazars. All this items are now in the Museum of historical treasures of Ukraine. :)

Were those items buried in the mounds on the steppes?

Steppes. Southern and eastern lands.
But in some cases place and time of finding unknown.

I am just in awe of the beauty of these jewelries. Here you have peoples who are known for their fierceness in battle -- and then to see such delicate craftwork. Growing up in America, I was not aware of your country except for sad stories of the recent war years. You and Maryxmas are reminding me of the depth of your history and of the many people who have lived in the land now called the Ukraine.
