I received this email from a reader last night and thought I would post it here in the hopes that perhaps one of you may have more information. If you do know anything about Oshad, please leave a Comment.
Dear Timothy:
Having been to Saint Petersburg last Fall, I am finally getting around to telling friends about some of the things I saw at The Hermitage. One was a set of four bulls marked Maykop kurga (Oshad). I understand Maykop = a well-known culture and kurga = burial site but the only other reference I have been able to find on Internet or in my own small library about Oshad is at your good write-up about Krasnodar.
If you have time, I would appreciate knowing what or where Oshad is (a place, a culture, a metalworking technique or what?). (The Osha River is at Omsk, so that does not seem to fit.)
