Can you imagine riding a mighty steed across the lands with this fine figure of a man. You hold him firmly and close from behind as the masterful horseman focuses on the setting sun ahead on the horizon…
Turkmens (historically "the Turkmen") are a Turkic ethnic group native to Central Asia, living mainly in Turkmenistan, northern and northeastern regions of Iran and north-western Afghanistan. Sizeable groups of Turkmens are found also in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and the North Caucasus (Stavropol Krai). They speak the Turkmen language, which is classified as a part of the Eastern Oghuz branch of the Turkic languages.
