Mare Mares Milk Milking Nomad Nomadic Steppe
EDITORS COMMENTS
Milking a Mare, Central Asia (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of a Central Asian nomad as he tenderly milks a white mare. The scene unfolds on the vast, open steppe, with the endless expanse of golden grasslands stretching out behind them. The nomad, dressed in traditional clothing, wears a felt hat and a long, flowing robe, his face etched with the lines of a life lived close to nature. The mare, her coat glistening in the sunlight, stands patiently as the nomad attaches a simple wooden milking bucket to her teats. Her trust in her human companion is palpable, a testament to the deep bond that exists between these animals and their nomadic caretakers. Milk from these hardy mares was an essential source of nutrition for the Central Asian people, providing them with sustenance during their long journeys across the harsh terrain. The photograph offers a glimpse into a time long past, when life was simpler, and people lived in harmony with nature. It is a poignant reminder of the traditional ways of life that have been largely lost to the march of modernity. The image is a beautiful celebration of the resilience and resourcefulness of the Central Asian nomads, who managed to thrive in one of the most challenging environments on the planet.
