EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Scythian crest for a horse, dating back to the 5th century BC. The exquisite artifact is beautifully carved and features an awe-inspiring gryphon's head as its centerpiece. Currently housed at the Heritage Museum in Leningrad, Russia, this ancient treasure offers us a glimpse into the rich history of the Scythian civilization. Against a pristine white background, the intricate details of this horse crest come to life. The mythical creature's fierce expression and majestic presence evoke a sense of power and strength. Its mouth open wide as if ready to unleash its mythical powers upon any who dare cross its path. The location where this artifact was discovered adds another layer of intrigue to its story. Found within barrow two at Palyrk in Altai, Russia, it stands as a testament to the region's vibrant cultural heritage and geographical significance. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountain ranges, Altai has long been associated with mythology and legends. As we admire this studio shot image captured by CM Dixon, we are transported back in time to an era filled with wonder and mystery. This extraordinary piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical relic - bridging the gap between ancient civilizations and our modern understanding of artistry, craftsmanship, and mythology.
