Abstract
The article analyses Old Russian silver and gold objects made in the XI-XIV centuries preserved in Russian museums and private collections, and the technological methods of their production. The traditional techniques of ancient Russian gold- and silver-smiths are compared to those of Byzantine and Western European jewellers. The conclusion has been drawn that there are similarities, with a rather slight differences, among the main technological methods used in works of ancient Russian, Byzantine and Western European gold- and silver-smiths throughout the XI-XIV centuries. The differences lie in the characteristic decoration of the objects, and are largely owing to their liturgical purposes. Technological methods of manufacturing these precious objects have changed significantly over the centuries.
