Scroll with a picture of a horse
A gift from the delegation of Chinese cultural workers who visited Stalingrad in May 1954. The paper is transferred to fabric. Despite the lack of detailed tracing, the image is dynamic and the horse is depicted in motion. Its head is turned to the right. The mane and tail flutter playfully. On the right side there is a vertical inscription in hieroglyphs. The fabric base with the pattern is wound on a wooden roller for rigidity and shape preservation. The roller is made of dark wood and covered with varnish.
