The tomb contains five bridles, a fragment of a bronze cauldron with a white camel's head and a wooden bowl covered with gold foil, a zoomorphic mirror with a walnut handle, a saucepan and glassware, beads for eyes, knives, and a ritual box with some rituals. It is a wooden comb with the clawed bones of two wolves, a very small vessel, keli kelsab, wolf fangs and jaws, and a battle between Persians and nomads in a chariot. The image on this ridge of Taksay resembles a colorful wooden panel of a tomb in Tatarly (Anatolia, modern Turkey). If so, then mound 6 dates back to the end of the 6th and beginning of the 5th centuries BC.
The woman's values are gold jewelry made in the form of symbols associated with the Sun, and the head is covered with a conical headdress (conical saukele), which symbolizes the tree of life. The image of the tauteke on the top of the hat symbolizes the degree of "royal" power and high status.
