Which foreign artistic influences can be seen in the Ziwiye treasure?

The Ziwiye treasure, which dates to the 7th century BCE, reflects a rich synthesis of styles common to the period. The objects found in this collection, such as gold pectorals, bracelets, and drinking vessels, exhibit a variety of foreign artistic influences, including those from Assyria, Syria, and Egypt.1

Additionally, the treasure provides evidence of the influence of the Scythian "animal style," characterized by highly expressive animal forms. Some scholars suggest that the collection may have been the property of a Scythian chief who held temporary rule over the Mannaean state.12
