This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from a felt Scythian wall-hanging found in tomb five at Pazyryk, Altai, Russia. Now housed in the esteemed Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Scythian people. The image captures an intricate scene featuring a horseman and a seated man, both meticulously crafted with vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, as every stitch and thread brings these ancient figures to life. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the profound concept of death that was prevalent during this era. This tomb served as a mausoleum for its inhabitants and their treasured possessions – including this remarkable wall-hanging – providing insight into their beliefs surrounding burial rituals. The horseman symbolizes power and strength while the seated man exudes authority and wisdom. Together, they represent an intriguing narrative that speaks volumes about society at that time. Through this photograph, we are transported back to Siberia's vast landscapes where these extraordinary artifacts were discovered. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression throughout history. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise behind the lens, we can now appreciate this exquisite piece without leaving our own country or compromising commercial use restrictions.
