The Epic of Manas · Horses and Mountain Passes

A line of figures crosses a horse-shaped valley towards a bright pass. Tents stand beside the snow line in a clearing enclosed by ridges.

Through the Valley

A line of figures passes beneath a colossal horse towards a bright mountain pass.

Beyond the pass, another stretch of road.

Riders climb beside a stirrup-shaped stone arch, close to the snow line.

Dark ridges surround a clearing, with tents pitched along the edge of the snow.
