Analysis of Genghis Khan's Golden Saddle, also known as Wanfu Golden Saddle

Pommel horse culture is an important part of grassland culture and a witness of nomadic culture in the world. The Golden Saddle of Genghis Khan and the Golden Saddle of Wanfu are based on the Golden Saddle of Genghis Khan, which combines the traditional beliefs and emotional sustenance of the nation. With unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, the supreme totem worship is combined with various auspicious patterns and traditional culture to form a carved saddle and a set of exquisite art collections.

The center of the saddle pad is painted with six-color hand drop process, which means all the best. The "moire" representing longevity is surrounded by turquoise and agate representing luck to form exquisite saddle flowers, wishing everything safe and beautiful.

The back saddle bell is decorated with bas-relief grass patterns, highlighting the high-precision relief "double lion dance hydrangea" The lion is the king of beasts, symbolizing strength and majesty; "Double Lion Dance Hydrangea" means to ward off evil spirits and defend and guard the affairs of the master (lion).

A millstone shaped like a vase symbolizes a peaceful life. The "Five Blessingg Shou Shou Tu", which symbolizes longevity, wealth, corning, virtue and good death, is surrounded by eight dazzling rhinestones symbolizing wealth and zigzag patterns, flame patterns and tattoos around it, which symbolizes peace, long-term and endless good luck and longevity.

A pair of carefully carved stirrups, a cross-shaped auspicious symbol around a faucet with stirrup beam and a stirrup board form a beautiful moral, everything will be fine, and you will get up at once and rise step by step.

Curled grass lines on the stirrup and three evenly inlaid turquoise symbolize endless luck and well-being. The dancing rope hangs down three-dimensionally, which looks like a beautiful saddle on a galloping horse. There is wind at the foot, but it is safe and comfortable.

Saddle stirrups are made of high relief, lifelike double horses, reindeer and peacocks, with Five Blessingg arch and longevity figure on the stirrups and gold/silver+inlaid stones carved, which perfectly constitute a good wish for life "happiness, wealth and happiness". The saddle stirrups are carved with mountains and seas in the center, indicating that they are surrounded by mountains and rivers. Mountains are the foundation, and water is wealth, which means wealth will last forever.

The rubber all-solid wood base is simple in shape, exquisite in solid wood carving technology, and various auspicious patterns and blessings. It seems that the towering Yinshan Mountain stands on the vast undulating grassland land, and the giant Hada composed of Wanfu dances in the sky to hold up the treasure saddle, which supports a peaceful and quiet grassland, like a river of Wanfu, just like the water flowing through the Yellow River gathers into a blessing, which means "Wanfu Golden Saddle".

The collection "Golden Saddle of Genghis Khan" and "Golden Saddle of Wanfu" combines rich and profound cultural connotations and infinite blessings with the image analogy of craftsman skills, exquisite carving and casting techniques and traditional hand-inlaid dripping techniques. It is the impact and extension of arts and crafts and culture, and it is a good blessing and wish for all.
