Stone images - anthropomorphic stone sculptures in height from 1 to 4 m, representing the soldiers, and sometimes women. Were placed on the mounds of ancient peoples, such as the Scythians, Polovtsy and others. Connected with the cult of ancestors. Stone statues carved mostly descendants of the Indo-Iranians, who lived in the steppes in the territories of present-day Russia and Ukraine in the early metal (bronze and Eneolithic 4.2 millennium BC. Er.). Anthropomorphic stelae are made of slabs or blocks stolbopodobnyh sandstone and quartzite with a mandatory picture of the head.
