EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from ancient history. Titled "Women at altar, Iranian Fabric on saddle-cover from Scythian Tomb, Pazyryk, c5th century BC" the image transports us back to a bygone era. The photograph captures a group of women engaging in religious worship at an intricately adorned altar. The vibrant colors of red and brown dominate the frame, drawing our attention to both the women's attire and the exquisite textiles that surround them. These fabrics are believed to be of Iranian origin, adding an intriguing cultural dimension to this snapshot in time. Located within the Altai Mountains of Siberia, Pazyryk is home to numerous Scythian tombs dating back over two millennia. This particular tomb offers a glimpse into the spiritual practices and rituals of these ancient people. Preserved with astonishing detail despite its age, this female likeness serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship throughout history. Housed in the renowned Hermitage Museum in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, it stands as an invaluable artifact for scholars and enthusiasts alike. As we admire this extraordinary piece of artistry captured by photographer CM Dixon during the 20th century USSR period, let us reflect on how religion has played a significant role in shaping societies across time and geography.
