Document Details : Title: Covered Tail and 'Flying' Tassels Author(s): ILYASOV, Jangar Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 38 Date: 2003 Pages: 259-325 DOI: 10.2143/IA.38.0.142 Abstract : In his article, which was published more than 40 years ago, Prof. Otto Maenchen-Helfen wrote about one, at first sight not very important detail of horse decoration. Namely, about the crenelated mane. Careful analysis of iconographic and archaeological material enabled him to define the territorial and chronological limits for the dissemination of these features. As a result he drew important conclusions about the directions in which cultures of nomadic origin spread. I want to write about other details of horse decoration, which have also been studied in some publications, namely covered horse-tails and 'flying' tassels. |
