National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
It consists of four separate cast and then soldered parts:
a cone-shaped openwork stand, a round tray with cultural
figures of animals, the horse-drawn archer culture and a
candlestick tube. Sculptures on the edge of the tray depict
bulls turned to the left, with their horned head slightly
bent forward and their ears bulged. Bulls are distributed
sequentially and at a uniform distance between each other.
The rider is turned in a half turn and shoots animals from a
short, compound bow.
