EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an ancient Altaian artist, depicting a Lying Tiger. Created during the 5th-4th century BC, this plaque is a remarkable testament to the artistic prowess of the Pazyryk Burial Mounds culture. Crafted from wood and adorned with intricate details, this artifact provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Altaian people. The tiger's powerful presence emanates from its lifelike depiction, capturing both its grace and strength in equal measure. Discovered within the collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, this piece holds immense historical significance. It serves as a tangible link to our ancestors who inhabited these lands thousands of years ago during the Iron Age. The Pazyryk culture was known for their advanced skills in various art forms, including woodworking and metalwork. This particular plaque exemplifies their mastery over materials such as iron and showcases their deep appreciation for nature and wildlife. As we admire this print today, we are transported back in time to an era when art served not only as decoration but also as a means to express reverence towards animals and natural elements that held great spiritual significance. Through preserving artifacts like this Lying Tiger plaque, we can continue to unravel mysteries surrounding ancient cultures while celebrating their artistic achievements that have stood the test of time.
