This photograph, dating back to the late 19th century, showcases a magnificent saddle from the album "Puteshestviya P. Ye. Ostrovskogo na Yenisey v 1894 i 1897 godakh" (The journeys of P. E. Ostrovsky on the Yenisei in 1894 and 1897) held at the National Library of Russia. The saddle, adorned with intricate Chinese saddle-cloth and silver Mongolian engraving over iron, is a stunning representation of the meeting of cultures in Siberia during this period. The saddle's rich history is evident in its detailed design, with the Chinese saddle-cloth adding a vibrant pop of color against the iron and silver engravings. The silver decorations, expertly crafted with intricate engravings, add an elegant and ornate touch to the functional piece. The cowhide seat and leather straps add durability, making this saddle not only a work of art but also a practical tool for horse riding. The stirrups, also made of iron and silver, are embossed with intricate patterns, further enhancing the overall design of the saddle. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of Chinese, Mongolian, and Russian influences in Siberia during the 1890s. The saddle is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the meeting of frontiers that occurred during this time. The photograph, taken in black and white, allows us to focus on the intricate details of the saddle and the historical significance of the object. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography or cultural art, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the diverse and complex history of Siberia and the Russian Far East.
