EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of the "Saddle cover (mixed media)" created by the Altaic School in the 5th Century BC. Measuring an impressive length of 119 cm, this masterpiece can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The intricate craftsmanship and diverse materials used in this artwork are truly remarkable. Combining felt, leather, fur, hair, and even gold, it is a testament to the skilled artisans of ancient Altai. This particular piece originates from Altai's Pazyryk region and was discovered within kurgan 1. Every element on this saddle cover tells a story; from its floral motifs to Scythian-inspired designs and exquisite embroidery techniques. The nomadic influence is evident through its equestrian theme and equine imagery. Capturing attention with its vibrant colors and delicate fringe details, this artwork exemplifies both beauty and functionality as it served as a horse blanket or caparison during ancient times. Preserved for centuries, this photograph allows us to appreciate the rich history behind such masterpieces while also highlighting their cultural significance within Russian artistry. With no copyright restrictions attached to it, we have been granted access to admire every stitch of this extraordinary work without any limitations or commercial implications thanks to Bridgeman Images' contribution via Fine Art Finder.
