The story behind
Free and happy, the horses gallop across the steppe, crossing wooded hills. Dressed in shimmering-colored ceremonial blankets, they seem to have escaped from a Persian fairy tale. Around them, flower seeds and polychrome decorations enhanced with gold evoke the silk road and the conviviality of the Orient.
