For related plaques see no. 166 in Aruz, et al., The Golden Deer of Eurasia, Scythian and Sarmatian Treasures from the Russian Steppes, where the scene has been interpreted as either "the soul of a king imbibing the elixir of immortality before a female deity, the investiture of a king, the initiation of a youth into the mysteries of a god, or the ritual marriage of a king to the female deity Tabiti, the so-called queen of the Scythians."
