Nomadic Peoples Art



Altaic Nomadic Finial Sculpture in Bronze of Mountain Ibex, 6th Century B.C., 18.8cm, Hermitage.

This extraordinarily beautiful bronze sculptre finial expelifies the aesthetic ideals of Mongolian/Siberian Altaic culture. Animal motifs figure prominently in the arts of the Altaic nomads societies.
