A Buriat Man Intently Focused on His Bow Shot, 1904-1917: A Captivating Image from the Siberian Frontier This evocative photograph captures the intense concentration of a Buriat man as he prepares to shoot a bow and arrow. The image, taken between 1904 and 1917, offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of the Buriat people, an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the Siberian region of Russia, particularly in Transbaikal and Zabaykalsky Krai. The man's apparel is a testament to the harsh climate and nomadic lifestyle of the Buriats. He wears a long, thick coat, likely made of wool or fur, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect him from the elements. His trousers are held up by a belt, and his feet are covered in high, leather boots. The man's focus is unwavering, as he carefully aims his bow, ensuring the arrow's precision for a successful hunt. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of the Buriat people, who have long been known for their skills in hunting, horse breeding, and traditional arts. The image could have been taken for various reasons, such as documentation for ethnographic studies, personal keepsakes, or communication through the postal service. Regardless of its origins, this photograph remains a valuable piece of history, offering a window into the lives of the Buriat people during a time of transition and change in the early 20th century.
