Abstract: The article deals with textile finds from Scythian graves found on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The study of textile and felt from this region was carried out for the first time. The study of woven fragments from five burials showed that they are the remains of linen linings of leather covers for bronze mirrors. It has been established that these covers could be decorated with embroidery or beads. Two other burials contained women’s headdresses. The remains of an almost complete, but extremely poor preserved headdress, sewn from linen and felt, made it possible to determine its shape and design. A fragment of a woven belt was preserved in another burial.
