EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - a Saddle cloth dating back to the 5th-4th century BC. Created by an anonymous Ancient Altaian artist, this exquisite textile was discovered in the Pazyryk Burial Mounds and is now housed in the prestigious State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg. Crafted with meticulous skill, this saddle blanket offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Pazyryk people during the Iron Age. Made from felt and adorned with intricate designs, it not only served as a functional accessory for horseback riding but also reflected their artistic sensibilities. The Pazyryk culture flourished in what is now modern-day Russia, and their burial mounds have yielded numerous archaeological treasures. This saddle pad stands as a testament to their advanced craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication. As we admire this numnah, or saddle cloth, we are transported back in time to an era when every detail mattered. The delicate patterns woven into its fabric speak volumes about the ancient Altaian's reverence for beauty and fine art. Preserved through centuries, this artifact serves as a tangible link between our present world and that of our ancestors. It reminds us of how much we owe to those who came before us - their ingenuity shaping our understanding of history today.
