Russian archaeologists in Novosibirsk in Western Siberia have put on display some of their latest finds at Hun sites in northern Mongolia.
The items include four ornate felt carpets from a two-thousand-year-old burial mound. All four are in good condition thanks to a ten-meter clay cover that protected them during their time in the grave.
The Huns were a dreaded nomadic tribe which ruled a vast empire covering the entire steppe swathe from China to what is now Hungary.
