Abstract
For the first time, information about the design features of the scabbard of an iron dagger from burial No. 37 of the soil burial ground Mayachny Bugor-1 is introduced into scientific circulation. The dagger comes from the burial of a medieval nomad with a stuffed horse. The rich inventory of the burial is quite traditional (a wooden saddle, the base of a birch bark quiver, a bow, a scabbard and a stack). However, the burial is of interest due to its unique degree of preservation. One of these, without exaggeration, a rare item for the Caspian steppes is a dagger in a birch bark sheath. In the area from the Danube to the Southern Urals, only two analogies are known from the territory of Ukraine and the North Caucasus, so the study of each new find with a birch bark sheath increases the informative level in this type of finds.
