EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - a Saddle cloth with lions, dating back to the 5th-4th century BC. Created by an unknown artist from Ancient Altaian, this exquisite textile was discovered in the Pazyryk Burial Mounds and now resides in the esteemed collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The intricate details of this saddle cloth are truly awe-inspiring. Crafted from wool and adorned with delicate embroidery, it reflects the mastery of Iron Age craftsmanship. The vibrant colors and meticulous stitching bring to life two majestic lions, symbolizing strength and power. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back in time to the ancient culture of Pazyryk. This saddle pad not only served a practical purpose but also held immense cultural significance within its design. It is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic traditions that once flourished in this region. Through careful preservation, we can still appreciate the beauty and ingenuity encapsulated within this centuries-old creation. This print allows us to marvel at its fine details while honoring both the ancient Altaian people who crafted it and those who have worked tirelessly to preserve our shared human history.
