Permian bronze casts

Permian bronze casts were produced by the Komi and Udmurt people between 7th century BC and the 14th century AD. Their size is 3–17 cm. Their style is referred to as the 'Permian animal style.'

Permian bronze casts were buried in cemeteries and were protected by customs. Foreigners were less hesitant to loot sacred places. A large collection was amassed by the Stroganov family in Perm.
