The image of the trident of Izyaslav, the son of the Kyiv prince Vladimir, was discovered by archaeologists during excavations in the Minsk region. A unique artifact is a bottom pot with the personal coat of arms of Prince Izyaslav dated to the end of the 10th – beginning of the 11th century.
There are no analogues, this is the first (!) such find in Belarus!, – wrote the founder of the Old Minsk Museum, archaeologist Gleb Lobadzenko.
The image of the trident of the times of Ukraine-Rus can open a new page in the archaeological research of the neighboring country. In a video commentary, archaeologist Andrey Voitekhovich, Candidate of Historical Sciences, noted that a trident was depicted on the found bottom of the pot – the ancestral sign of Prince Izyaslav (the son of Kyiv Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich and Rognida).
