They were found during excavations led by Galina Pugachenkova at the cemetery of , by the bank of the (a tributary of the Zeravshan), immediately north of Samarkand.

They are decorated with battle scenes between soldiers wearing cataphracts, and one hunting scene. The date and attribution of the plaques are disputed, although the consensus tends to suggest a 1st-century CE date. found numerous similarities between the plaques and other Xiongnu-Sarmatian finds from Mongolia and Altay, particularly a group of plaques retrieved from Tepsei Mount near the Yenisey River, usually attributed to Tashtyk culture.[1] Pugachenkova believes the plaques were made by the inhabitants of Kangju, thought to have been closely related to the Kushans and Tocharians. The soldiers would be either Sogdians or Sakas, much less probably Yuezhis or Parthians. * Detail of one of the Orlat plaques. * Full drawing of one of the Orlat plaques. * A coin of the Indo-Scythian king Azes II with equipment similar to that of the Orlat plaque.

  • Орлатские пластины, пластины из Орлата — это костяные панцирные пластины с изображением батальных сцен, представляющие собой источник по истории прикладного искусства кочевых народов степного пояса Евразии. Найдены в Узбекистане, на Орлатском кладбище, к северу от Самарканда. В сражении участвуют конные и пешие тяжеловооружённые воины, по четыре человека с каждой стороны. Сражение как бы распадается на четыре поединка. Две пары изображены в верхней части пластины, две — в нижней. Судя по всему, они представляют два отряда, выстроенных в шеренги друг против друга. Характер вооружения и снаряжения у воинов разнообразны. Однако, они встречаются у противников с обеих сторон. По предположению Г. А. Пугаченковой, воины на белых лошадях побеждают своих противников, а обе группы воинов относятся к одной и той же этнической группе — кангюйцам. (ru)
