EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Pile carpet that takes us back in time to the ancient Central Asian nomadic culture. Created by the Altaic School, this remarkable piece of textile art depicts a mesmerizing scene filled with horses and riders, fallow deer, and griffins. Measuring 183x200 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Dating back to the 5th-4th century BC, this rug was discovered within the Pazyryk Burial Mounds - a testament to its funerary significance among the Scythian tribe. The intricate details on this carpet transport us into their tribal world as we witness riders gracefully mounted on horses while mythical griffins soar above them. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring; every thread meticulously woven together to bring these scenes of nomadic life to vivid reality. It serves as an invaluable historical artifact shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of Central Asia. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how deeply intertwined humans have been with animals throughout history. Horses play a central role in this composition, symbolizing strength and freedom while fallow deer add an element of wildlife and gracefulness. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless masterpiece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire for generations to come.
