The exhibited necklace of beads originates from Funerary Complex No. 6 of Kurgan No. 4, excavated in 1982 by Dr. Habil. Eugen SAVA near the town of Taraclia. The beads were found in the chest area of the deceased, indicating that they had been worn as a necklace and had remained in their original position within the funerary assemblage. The necklace consists of 11 elements made entirely of Egyptian faience. Eight of the beads are spherical and decorated with vertical incisions forming between 14 and 21 raised ribs. Their diameters range from 13 to 20 mm. Two additional elements are scarab representations measuring 23.5 × 19.5 mm, while the final component is a flattened cylindrical pendant bead featuring a central vertical groove and measuring 22 × 9 mm. The objects range in color from light blue to dark blue and violet hues, reflecting the natural deterioration and glaze variations characteristic of Egyptian faience. Egyptian faience is an artificial quartz-based material coated with an alkaline glaze, typically blue or blue-green in color. It was widely used in Ancient Egypt and later spread throughout the Mediterranean and Pontic regions through trade networks. During the first centuries AD, such objects served as important indicators of cultural and economic contacts between the Mediterranean world and the communities of the North Pontic region. Owing to its typological, technological, and symbolic characteristics, the Taraclia necklace is an exceptionally valuable artifact for the study of intercultural relations, the circulation of prestige goods, and the funerary practices of the Sarmatian communities during the first centuries AD (1st-2nd centuries AD).

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. II [XVII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
Following the reorganization of the Archaeology Museum of the Science Academy and the National History Museum and creation of the National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova it became necessary to elaborate and create a new permanent exposition.
The article analyses the methods and principles of exposition projection, their development and argues the necessity and timeliness to create a new museum’s permanent exposition.
The author places high emphasis on the issue of displaying modern history in an exposition and believes it’s necessary to create a thematic exposition based on modern information technologies.
And there is no exposition without scientific reconstructions. The future exposition focuses attention on the role of the artist in the projection of an exposition, union of an artist and a museologist.
The author is confident that creation of a convincing, scientific and interesting exposition will help attract more visitors and enable them to understand the most important events in Moldovan history from ancient times till the present day.
