{"product_id":"cossack-and-cossack-maiden-on-horseback-bronze-sculpture-on-marble-base","title":"Cossack and Cossack Maiden on Horseback – Bronze Sculpture on Marble Base","description":"\u003cp\u003eA romantic and richly narrative sculpture depicting a pair of Cossack riders – a man and a woman – travelling together on horseback across rugged, wild steppe terrain. The man, wearing a characteristic fur papakha hat, sits behind, holding a long lance in his hand and carrying a sabre and rifle slung across his shoulder – as guardian, companion, and protector. In front of him, dressed in a typical Cossack cap with a long braid falling down her back, sits the woman holding the reins, guiding their faithful steed along the stony path. Their figures, rendered with extraordinary attention to detail, tell a story of love, loyalty, shared journey, and the eternal Cossack spirit of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition captivates with its masterful conveyance of movement and tension – the horse, with its head lowered and weary from the long road, treads carefully over the uneven terrain, the folds of the riders' garments fall naturally, and every element of equipment – harness, rifle, sabre, lance, riding boots, fur caps – has been reproduced with remarkable ethnographic and historical precision. The rocky base, richly modelled with the texture of stones and earth, adds realism and depth to the whole, while the warm, copper-bronze patina with subtle tonal transitions contrasts beautifully with the polished black marble base, which provides a noble, monumental backdrop for this epic scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery sculpture in our Czysta materia store is entirely handcrafted by experienced artisans using the traditional lost-wax casting technique – which means that each piece is unique and possesses its own distinctive character, subtle variations in patina, and an individual soul. It is an exceptional collector's item and an outstanding decorative element for a prestigious living room, study, library, militaria collection, hunting hall, or stylish restaurant. A perfect gift for lovers of history, enthusiasts of Cossack and Eastern European tradition, collectors of figurative sculpture, equestrians, connoisseurs of 19th-century narrative art, and anyone who appreciates romantic tales of love, journey, and the wild steppes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Czysta Materia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64621944308061,"sku":null,"price":1646.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/3573\/7949\/files\/1_940c4f4d-a13e-49f6-810f-83564bccab64.webp?v=1777995355","url":"https:\/\/czystamateria.com\/products\/cossack-and-cossack-maiden-on-horseback-bronze-sculpture-on-marble-base","provider":"Czysta Materia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
