Annotation
The photo shows a horse in a festive harness tied to a pillar of the fence surrounding a Yakut estate. The horse is wearing a saddle, a saddle blanket (croup cover) and saddle skirts decorated with a lyre-shaped pattern, all of which make one decorative complex. Suspended on the bridle are tassels of bear fur, which are a typical decoration of the horse wedding outfit. Abstract by M.V. Fedorova
