EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Scythian wooden harness-ornament from the 5th century BC. Discovered in barrow three at Pazyryk, Altai, Russia, this exquisite artifact was found within the frozen tomb of a revered chief. Now housed in the prestigious Heritage Museum in St Petersburg, it offers us a glimpse into the ancient world of these nomadic warriors. Against a pristine white background, this horned ornament stands out with its intricate design and vibrant colors. Crafted with exceptional skill and attention to detail, it is a testament to the artistry of Scythian craftsmen. The use of wood as the primary material adds an element of warmth and natural beauty to this piece. As we gaze upon this image captured by CM Dixon, we are transported back in time to when this object held great significance for its owner. It symbolizes not only their status but also their connection to nature and animals. The solemnity surrounding death and burial is palpable through this photograph. We can almost feel the weight of history as we contemplate how such treasures were interred alongside their owners in mausoleums like those found in Siberia's Pazryk region. This print serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to appreciate our shared human heritage. Its presence within museum walls ensures that future generations can marvel at its beauty while contemplating our collective pasts.
