EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Horn Bridle Decoration from Pazyryk, dating back to the 5th century BC-4th century BC. Found in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, these intricate carvings represent a majestic Horned Tiger accompanied by two graceful swans. The Pazyryk burials, where this extraordinary artifact was discovered, are a collection of Scythian Iron Age tombs located in the scenic Pazyryk Valley on the Ukok plateau. Currently housed at the renowned Hermitage Museum in Leningrad USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia), this piece is an exquisite example of ancient craftsmanship and artistic expression. The symmetrical design and vibrant colors bring life to this decorative bridle fitting that once adorned horses during ceremonial or important occasions. The animal likeness captured within this horn carving reflects both the cultural significance and reverence for nature prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage of Siberia's Altai Mountains region. Photographed by CM Dixon, an expert in capturing historical artifacts with precision and detail, this image provides us with a glimpse into our past while preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate. Let it transport you back in time to an age when artistry flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes – truly a treasure worth cherishing at one of Russia's most esteemed museums.
