EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "A Buriat in Ancient Armor on a Horse," dates back to the early 1900s, between 1904 and 1917. The image, held at the National Library of Russia, showcases a Buriat man in traditional attire, proudly riding a horse in full regalia. The Buriats are an indigenous people inhabiting Mongolia, Siberia, and the Transbaikal region of Russia. The man in the portrait wears an ancient armor suit, complete with intricate patterns and decorative elements. He is armed with a bow and quiver, holding a single arrow, ready for communication or hunting. The horse, a vital companion in the vast expanses of the Buriat homeland, is adorned with traditional clothing and accessories, reflecting the deep connection between the people and their animals. The image captures the essence of the meeting of frontiers, as the Buriat man embodies the rich heritage of the ancient Mongolian and Siberian cultures. This full-length portrait, with the man in profile, offers a glimpse into the traditional clothing and fashion of the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the armor, clothing, and horse accessories are a testament to the artistic and historical significance of this piece. As a communication tool, this lithograph served various purposes, including postal services and the exchange of ideas and information between different communities. The image remains a valuable piece of heritage art, preserving the history and traditions of the Buriat people and their connection to the land, their horses, and their ancient ways of life.
