EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - an Elk, fragment of a saddle cover (felt) created by the Altaic School in the 5th century BC. With a length of 47 cm, this masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image captures the essence of nomadic life and equestrian culture prevalent during that era. The intricate embroidery and applique work on this horse blanket depict a wild moose galloping with grace and power. The stylized design reflects the artistic prowess of the Altaic School, known for their mastery in textile craftsmanship. Originating from Altai's Pazyryk region, specifically kurgan 2, this elk fragment offers us a glimpse into Scythian history and their deep connection to nature. It symbolizes both functionality as a saddle cover and aesthetic beauty as an art form. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this ancient treasure through eBoltin Picture Library. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its timeless appeal. As we admire this extraordinary piece, let us marvel at how it transcends time and connects us to our ancestors' rich cultural heritage.
