EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a second example of a Mongol Paiza, an ancient tablet of authority. The illustration is taken from "The Travels of Marco Polo" translated by Henry Yule and published in 1875. This lithograph, created by the English School in the 19th century, now resides in a private collection. The image depicts a Gerege, or Paiza, that was discovered in the former territory of the Mongol Golden Horde at the Dnieper River in 1845. The tablet bears an inscription written in Uighur script and serves as both a decoration for services rendered and a letter of commission for individuals entrusted with special tasks on behalf of the ruling dynasty. The intricate design and decorative elements make this piece truly remarkable. Crafted from metal, possibly silver, it reflects the grandeur and power associated with the Great Khan during the thirteenth century when such tablets were prevalent. This photograph not only captures historical significance but also offers insight into Mongolian culture and governance during this era. It provides viewers with a glimpse into one aspect of authority within the Great Mongol State. As we admire this extraordinary relic through time's lens, we are reminded of its importance as both an artifact and symbol representing centuries-old traditions and achievements.
