Artist's Comments

This is a young warior from days when my country was one of the youngest european countries.This means before more than 13 centuries (or the right year - 681 A.D.) Horse was sacred for ancient bulgarians and spear with horse tail was our ensign in the time of war.With their striking skills in horse riding and archery bulgarian cavalry was terrible oponent for their enemies....

P.S. sorry for bad english....

It's very nice, I have a cultural question: Were they really mostly bald like that? I'm just curious, I don't think it looks bad.

Thank u for comment!!!
Well, about your question:The begining of my nation is in very ancient times (~ 4000 years ago) My ancestors comes from Asia. There was first bulgarian state - Great Bulgaria with capitol Fanagoria and this hair style(shaved head with only one long tuft of hair) was very popular between bulgarian rulers (khans) and bulgarian people from this age...I dunno, but may be this is symbol, cuz is very similar to horse tale...After falling of Great Bulgaria under strikes of nomad tribes, my nation comes in Europe.One part of people makes winter passage through Alpian mountains and reach present south Italy, other establish the present Bulgaria (where i am from) near to north frontier of Bizantium Empire, and other part establish second bulgarian country at the river Volga in present Russia(this Bulgaria with capitol Bulgar The Great exist until 11 century and was defeated from Genghis Khan and his mongolian tribes) ...
