EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable artifact from the 6th century BC - a Forehead Plaque from a Horse Harness. Created by an Ancient Altaian artist, this exquisite piece was discovered in the Pazyryk Burial Mounds and now resides in the esteemed collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Crafted with wood and adorned with intricate objects, this bridle decoration provides us with a glimpse into the rich archaeology of the Iron Age. The fine art images depicted on this plaque reflect the unique Pazyryk culture, which flourished during ancient times. Used as part of decorated horse furniture, this forehead plaque served not only as an ornamental embellishment but also as a symbol of status and prestige within ancient Altaian society. Its elaborate design speaks to the skilled craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities prevalent during that era. As we admire this relic, we are transported back in time to witness how horses played an integral role in daily life and cultural practices. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance, shedding light on ancient traditions that have shaped our understanding of human civilization.
