This photo print, titled "Cherkess Celebrating the end of Muharram with the Equestrian Sport of the Dash for the Prize Lamb" takes us back to 1889 in Russia's majestic Caucasus Mountains. Created by renowned artist Franz Roubaud, this painting captures a momentous occasion where Cherkess people come together to commemorate the end of Muharram, an important Islamic festival. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with soldiers and civilians engaging in an exhilarating equestrian sport known as Buzkashi. Amidst breathtaking landscapes, these brave individuals display their exceptional horsemanship skills while competing for a prized lamb. This thrilling event not only demonstrates their love for traditional sports but also symbolizes resilience and resistance against external forces.

Through his artistry, Roubaud offers us a glimpse into Cherkessia's unique heritage and its connection to larger geopolitical struggles. As we admire this fine piece of genre art on canvas, we are reminded of how visual representations like these contribute to our understanding of history and diverse cultures. This rare gem from a private collection serves as a testament to Roubaud's talent in capturing moments that transcend time – allowing us to appreciate both beauty and complexity within our world's
